If you have little ones in your house, check out Baby Rodenburg. This DVD teaches you child sign language, A-B-C's, numbers, colors, and animals. The DVD was a huge hit here. Madison (my 4 year old) is learning sign language in preschool, so she loved the reinforcement. My son who is 15 months loved it due to the music and seeing other babies. I am not sure if he really “understood” any of the sign language. Mom like it, because I got to actually learn some sign language (like how to sign eat) that is actually quite useful at my house.
My only complaint about the DVD is that it seems a bit disorganized at times. I wish they correlated the signing to whichever letter they were on. Meaning, when they did the sign for eat, I think they should have been talking about the letter E. That being said, they really reinforced each sign and what it means using several different ways. As each thing was signed, Madison often repeated the sign several times and repeated the word that went with the sign. Will danced with the music and pointed to the screen and said “seeeeeee” every time an animal, baby, or toddler was on.
This DVD was created by a set of parents who couldn't find any DVDs out there that fit their needs for their child. Instead of complaining, they made their own DVD to use with their own child and to share with the rest of us!
There are so many new things available to parents! Very cute idea.
