About this play
Babies can often make simple hand signs weeks or months before they can say the matching word, giving them a real way to communicate and reducing the frustration of not being understood. Pairing a sign like milk, more, all done, eat, or help with the word every single time you use it in daily routines is how the connection sticks.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Pick one or two signs to start with, like 'milk' and 'more'.
- Make the sign clearly every time you say the word during routines.
- Gently guide baby's hands through the sign, then wait for them to try it.
