My First Signs

I found My First Signs while looking for baby shower prezzies for some friends of mine. I think this is a genius idea. It makes sense that babies would be able to sign before speaking. If monkeys can do it we must be able too right? Infants “find” their fingers and toes long before they can speak and sometimes without knowing it they use signs to convey messages to you. This is a useful learning tool for the entire family. The sooner your child can communicate with you the better. I love the idea of teaching your baby sign language. It can help them in the future as well.

Product Description:
Children are able to communicate by signing before they develop the skills necessary for speech. By teaching simple sign language to children from as young as eight months, we can help them to convey their emotions and their needs, as well giving them a valuable head start in their social and intellectual development.

My First Signsis beautifully illustrated by Annie Kubler with 12 pages of basic baby signs for such words as milk, more, hot, potty, all done, and much more. Signing to your baby can help you and your child communicate effectively, thereby lessening frustration levels at both ends. What’s more, you’ll be surprised how easy it is for you and your baby to begin to “talk” to each other.

Eco Garden Set from Hape

Eco Garden Set from Hape

Eco Garden Set from Hape

I don’t know about you buy my doll house accessories were no where near as cool as Hape sets. The design and creativity that make up the Hape sets are amazing. I am sort of jealous I don’t have a doll house of my own now. The attention to detail with the cup set and kabobs are way too cute. Toys like this encourage your child to use their imagination with out being “plugged in”. Another positive side to the Hape sets especially this one is that it isn’t just for girls and their dolls. There is nothing to say that GI Joe or any other action figure cannot have an Eco-Garden BBQ. The colors and construction of the Eco-Garden set can be uni-sex which I think is a cute idea if you have multiple children in your home or at school. Action figures must like to BBQ too right?

Product Description:
Let your child’s dolls relax in the shade with this Eco-Garden set from Hape . The bamboo stalks and parasol provide shelter from the sun and the drinks and kabobs create a wonderful meal on a summer evening. The set consists of 1 patio, 2 chairs, 1 table with parasol, 2 bamboo stalk clusters, 1 grill with kabobs, and 1 cup set. A unique and eco-friendly addition to your child’s doll collection.
Made with Bamboo. Earth’s fastest growing plants, bamboo is highly renewable. Bamboo stands release 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than equivalent timber forests and require no replanting, pesticides or fertilizers to grow. Bamboo is also highly durable and strong–it’s even harder than red oak and maple wood! A light water-based stain has been applied to the bamboo which is then polished with beeswax, providing a natural, satin finish.
