If you're just starting out signing with your little ones, I definitely recommend the Baby Signing Time series and volumes 1-3 of regular Signing Time. But what do you watch once you've seen all of those and mastered the signs your family uses regularly? Well, I have been watching Signing Time DVDs with my daughter(s) for over three years now. It's safe to say that we each have our favorites, and Signing Time: My Neighborhood (Series 1, Volume 11) is definitely my favorite!

As a stay-at-home mom, this DVD covers so many of the signs related to our everyday errands: playground, library, post office. My toddler loves the "Watch Me Go" segment with all the transportation signs and my preschooler loves the Special Helper section. (We use the signs whenever we see a firefighter or police officer while we're out and about. There really are helpers everywhere!)

I love to help families find just the right DVD for their situation. If you have any questions, please comment below or e-mail me!
