FREE – Signing for Babies Playgroup
My Smart Hands with Maria would like to invite you and your little person to come meet, play, and learn about using American Sign Language (ASL). Most babies are developmentally ready for signing back to their caregivers around 8-10 months of age, but exposure to sign can begin at birth. Research has shown that signing babies:
- Talk sooner
- Have larger vocabularies
- Have less frustration, crying, and tantrums
- Show more interest in books
- Engage in more sophisticated play
- Score higher on IQ tests (when tested at age 7-8)
So, come and join us and find out how you can learn more! This play group is FREE and open to anyone with a baby or toddler who is interested in learning how signing can benefit early communication, learning, and bonding. Please RSVP to Maria Gross at 503-312-2216 or maria@mysmarthands.com
