![]() | Signing Time! Vol. 1: My First Signs DVD
Buy used from: $8.92 I love Signing Time!! I am a Signing Time Junkie, and it's the only kids show I can watch over and over again. This show not only taught my daughter and me how to sign, but taught her all kinds of words and concepts she hadn't yet learned. This episode is a good place to start in the series.
|
![]() | Signing Time Volume 5: ABC Signs DVD
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $13.75 This is my favorite Signing Time episode. You learn the alphabet in sign language, but it's the perfect learning video to introduce the alphabet as a whole to babies.
|
![]() | Signing Time! Volume 9: The Zoo Train DVD
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $13.49 If your child is into animals, this is another good episode of Signing Time. Really, you can't to wrong with any episode, but we like this one a lot.

|
![]() | Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann

|
![]() | Baby Einstein: Jane's Animal Expedition by Julie Aigner-clark
