For the seasoned baby signers among you it will be a great chance for you to catch up with classmates and to meet other parents who are on the baby signing journey too.

There will be morning tea for you as well as fun activities and games for your children and of course a Teddy Bears picnic wouldn’t be complete without a Teddy Bear so Sammy will be there too.

When and where:
Sunday 21st March between 10am and 12pm
32a Oxford Falls Rd, Beacon Hill
(Look for the balloons on the gate)

In the early days virtually nobody in Australia had heard of baby sign language and most parents assumed it was something for Deaf babies and not something they needed to bother with. (more…)

This weekend we will be at the second event for The Baby Show which launched last year in Sydney.

It was a really good show in Sydney and we expect this event in Melbourne to be just as good with wide range of attractions and speakers.

I will be speaking on Friday 5th March at 3.30pm and again on Saturday 6th March at 2.40pm, about Baby Sign Language and Auslan, visit here for full details.

We also have free tickets worth $20 for all our blog readers.  Just click here to download your ticket and print out a copy to bring along with you on the day.

We are at stand 161, just inside the door on the left near the baby feed and change area so I hope to see you there.

If you are not in Melbourne but live up in North Queensland Emma our Cairns baby sign teacher will be at the North Queensland Baby & Childrens Expo this weekend as well.

If you live in Cairns, or just happen to be visiting this weekend, then you might like to attend the North Queensland Baby & Childrens Expo at the Cairns Convention Centre.

Our Cairns Baby Sign Teacher Emma will be there this weekend, the 6th – 7th of March so pop along and take the time to say hello and ask Emma any questions you may have about baby sign.

We also have discount voucher to save $5 of the admission of 2 adults and up to 3 children which you can get by clicking here and downloading.
