Hands That Speak

A$10.00 A$15.00

A gentle introduction to baby sign - for little ones finding their voice in their own time.
Long before children can talk, they can understand and express so much. Signing gives babies and toddlers a simple, powerful way to share what they want, need, and feel - easing frustration and building confidence.

And for children whose speech is developing a little later, signing can be a lifeline: a way to be understood, to connect, and to shine while their words are still on the way.

Because every child deserves a voice - and sometimes, that voice begins in their hands.

Perfect for home reading, classrooms, and therapy settings, Hands That Speak offers a hopeful, empowering message: every child has something to say-and there are many ways to say it.

Feedback from the classroom (Little Souls Long Jetty)

After birthday time, we explored some sign language from our new book written by Elodie’s dad. The children loved learning new signs together and practiced using their hands to communicate with each other.

Learning Sign Language Together; One of our favourite parts of the day has been continuing to learn sign language together so we can communicate in different ways with our friends and educators. The children are becoming so confident and are honestly picking it up quicker than we expected!

Throughout the day we noticed children independently using signs during mealtimes to ask for “more” food and communicate their needs to educators. It has been so beautiful watching the children begin using their signs naturally within their daily routines and proudly showing their friends the signs they know.

We have also loved seeing the children encourage one another and celebrate each other’s achievements as they learn new ways to communicate. Learning sign language not only supports language development, but also promotes inclusion, confidence, social connections, and understanding that communication can happen in many different ways.
