Kids interacted with the program and it held their attention for the most part. The youngest went up and touched the TV screen. Kids liked the toys in the film that illustrated the words (such as the green toy frog). They responded positively to babies shown on the screen. This is definitely a film requiring adult assistance. The older kids do very well but the pre-verbal ones need help. The bright colors and the music held their attention.
Good teaching tool for parents who wish to explore teaching young, pre-verbal children to sign so they can communicate with them. It shows several very young children using signs to ask for juice, water, and identifying objects and colors. Well produced. Very clear, colorful, good blend of live action with adult and baby characters, live action animals and toys. For example, to illustrate the word "frog" a toy is shown, several different live action frogs, and of course the host illustrates the signed word for it. There is no storyline. Important that a parent watch with the child for the best affect.
Introduces babies to 24 words and signs to encourage them to explore and begin to communicate about the wonders of the world around them. Offers signs for colors, foods, nature and play.
