Great Idea. Just started signing with our daughter Maddie. She is 7 months old. She smiles at me while i sign with her. I love your videos and had noproblem downloading all the files. Can't wait till we see our first sign back from her....Funny our 9 year old picked it right up. She is signing to Maddie also. : ) Thanks for your help.
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for watching my video. The team at MindBites will have the files available for download soon. Check back in a couple of days and they should be available to download for free during the craft contest. I will post a message on my facebook group once the files are ready: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7749175188
Thank you for your votes!

This definitely helps me remember which sign to use while teaching my son, as well as something he can have with him if family watches him so they'll know what he is asking for!
Hi Everyone,
Then files are now ready to be downloaded with this lesson. You have to sign-up for an account and be logged-in to access the files.
Thanks!
Laura
I was able to download them fine without having to buy the lesson. I believe they are free until August 1st you do have to have a mindbites account though.
Great question as I'm sure other people will benefit from knowing how to do this.
1. What you want to do it drag a picture into Word.
2. Make sure that you have your 'formatting palette' up. You can find this under 'view'. On your formating palette you will see a little button that that will crop your picture.
3. You'll want to crop it and then resize it to fit in the spot that I've provided for you.
4. Finally, what you are going to want to do is put a text box around it. You can do this by making sure you have the picture selected and then make sure your 'drawing' toolbar is selected (you'll find this under 'view' and then 'toolbars') select the A button in the toolbar (text box button). You can keep the box around or you can select no fill and no color (these look like a little pencil and paint can).
5. Then simply cut & paste your picture with text box under Mommy (or you can write the word Mommy under your picture.
If you are having trouble, email me your picture and I'll do it for you and send it back to you (laura@mysmarthands.com)
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.
Dear Laura
Thank you for these card.I will start to use them to my subject(Now I study about sign language).Please tell me for cardsize,picturesize and frontsize.Maybe I doing another word.
