Australian Baby Hands Blog

If you are in Albany and get the local paper the Albany Advertiser you can see Karina our Albany based baby sign teacher with her 18 month old son Micah in an article about her and how Karina started her journey into Baby Signing.

Karina has been running her classes for a few months in the Albany area but has been using baby sign with her own family and during her teaching of year 6 students for quite some time (more…)

Our newest baby sign teacher Avonna was recently asked to do a piece for Today Tonight in Adelaide.

I think Avonna did a wonderful job as she didn’t look at all nervous despite the fact that they were filming one of her very first classes, so well done Avonna.

You can check out the short clip below where parents are interviewed about their experience with baby sign as well as featuring some signing babies at various Baby Hands Classes.

If you would like to know more about Baby Hands Classes or contact any of our Baby Sign Teachers to find out more information about classes in your area you can contact them directly through the information on their page.

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.

The exhibition runs from 9am to 4pm both days with a host of activities for the kids as well as some useful talks and information for the parents.  For a full list of the weekends activities visit here:

We will also be exhibiting at the Baby Show in Melbourne at the same weekend from the 5th – 7th of March so if you are Victoria I hope to see you there

As I posted yesterday we got a short notice call about a story that The Morning Show wanted to do about Baby Hands and Baby Sign Language which we shot in the studio in Sydney this morning.

For those of you that missed it you can watch it below here, I’d recommend pressing play and letting it buffer for a few seconds (this will also allow you to skip over the ad at the beginning).

Thanks very much to Katica and baby Marley for coming in with me.  They have been attending classes with Catherine, our in Inner West teacher.  Marley did really well under the bright lights and pulled out quite an impressive array of signs.  If you watch closely you will even see that when he is first asked to sign “cat” he signs “where” as he is looking for the cat.

If you would like to attend a class on Baby Sign then please contact one of our teachers.

If you can organise a group of 5 or more then, as the organiser, you will get the class for free.

Happy Signing

Jackie
