The WeeHands Blanket Game

With your baby and a BLANKET, take turns hiding your favourite toys or even another family member!  Think of this game as a variation of the game Peek-a-Boo, but with another participant so that both you and baby will always see what's going on.

Signs to use: BLANKET, WHERE, ANIMAL, MOMMY, DADDY

Watch "The Blanket Game" video on YouTube to learn more:



Encourage your little one's imitation of your voice, body movements and single words (signed words or spoken words).  Please share your signing games and stories!

I love Baby Signing! My oldest had delayed speech and baby signing was our saving grace. We didn't know he was going to have delayed speech when we started doing the signs with him, but it definitely decreased the frustration we would have had with him when he got older. His speech therapists were planning on recommending signing to us but we were already doing more than they recommended! Love what you're doing!

I really enjoy the videos on your blog! I've taken sign language in college and I feel like I'm able to relearn it just from watching it on your blog. As a parent of a child who needed early speech intervention I think using signs helps ease the frustration that young children feel when their parents and caregivers can't understand them.
