Baby Einstein - My First Signs [DVD]

My daughter has been watching this for months now. She knew some signs from a book I purchased but she learned more from this video. Even though she can now say all the words, she still likes to sign for them as well. This is still among one of her most favorite DVDs to watch.

This is an excellent first signs video. My son (15 months) enjoys it and so do I. The music, graphics and live action flow nicely, and Marlee Matlin is charming (as are the puppets, of course!).

I really like the format of the video, the way it teaches a few signs in a group, shows the concept in many different ways and then moves on to another group of signs. My son, who has Down Syndrome, is almost 2 and he loves to watch this video because of all of the children and babies they feature! His therapists have encouraged us to teach him sign language and this just might be the perfect tool for doing so!

Great for Babys First Signing

Works great!

Im very happy I bought this product. My nephew have been watching it every couple days, sometimes more than once a day and hes picking up signs rather quickly. Its great to hear him say and sign Go! and then take off running.

Maybe my 10 month old will take an interest in this a little later, but this tape for very hard to hold her attention after already being introduced to more entertaining tapes by Hooked on Phonics, Discover reading which is very educational as well as entertaining. The music is less upbeat and just doesnt seem to grab her attention like some other videos. The signs are however great signs to start with, the interaction between babies, kids and parents is great for her to see. When you read a book to a child, you have to read it with a bit of enthusiasm. The DVD just doesnt have that extra kick to it.

I thought this would be a neat addition to my Baby Einstein Collection. But my son wont watch it. Ive tried several times, and each time he doesnt even last 1 minute. He prefers the more musical dvds.

My 8 month old didnt care for this video at all. My husband and I thought it was kind of boring also. It was really slow and not very good at keeping ones attention.

My daughter loves all of the baby einstein videos. However now thats shes 2 1/2 she was beginning to grow out of them. This video is perfect. She already knows all the signs in it and uses them regularly. My younger daughter (15 months) also loves the videos and is just beginning to use the signs. I feel good about putting on a video that I know shes learning stuff from. If youre looking for more sign videos from baby einstein try Babys Favorite Places Around Town and Baby Wordsworth, both of those have been great too.
