In this lesson, you will learn how to make your own set of baby sign language flashcards. Both the words and images are supplied in a pdf file for the front of the card. You will also receive, as part of this lesson, 30 pictures and descriptions of how to make the signs for each word supplied. All of the signs provided in this lesson are American Sign Language (ASL) signs. You can personalize these cards by adding your own photographs to the 'mommy', 'daddy', 'grandma', 'grandpa' and 'family' spots.
This craft is fun and easy to do, the hard work is taken care of for you!

Laura thinks of everything-she's even provided the images for the flashcards AND left the family images empty so that the 'mommy' card includes the actual mommy of your family. This lesson is about how to make the cards, and I'd love to see one on the ways she uses them with her daughter; I was blown away to hear her sounding out the words on the cards!
Clear and very informative lesson. 09/02/2008

First of I would like to Thank You for making signing much easier and fun for my children . I have a 15 month old and a 4 year old.My baby knows 14 signs already. I started when she was 6 months, But i've been showing Baby signs videos since she was 3 months. Now my baby is at the point where i ask her for a sign like Apple, she does the sign and she picks up the card. My 4 yr old has also been doing great with learning her signs It is also helping her with her spellig.These cards really made it easy for both of my kids, Thank you yet again for facilitating the signing for me and my children.
