Everyday Signs introduces you to signing with your baby, giving you guidance on how to begin. Words are separated into six categories: creatures, family, mealtime, miscellaneous, needs and objects. There is also a simple guessing game to reinforce the words learned. The front of the flashcards displays a photograph of the signed word; on the back of the flashcards are text with colorful images from the DVD, helping to reinforce the words demonstrated on the DVD.

The Teaching Signs for Baby Minds series incorporates bold colors, sights and sounds with American Sign Language to enrich, stimulate and expand communication between you and your child. Created by deaf mom Missy Keast to teach ASL to parents and families with young children, this series makes early communication between you and your child fun and easy.
