  My son has Verbal Apraxia and we are teaching him sign. This video is a great asset to our learning all the farm animals!
  
  

• Entertaining and Educational

  As the mother of twins, one hearing and one deaf, I have had the opportunity to check out many programs for teaching ASL to small children. This is by far the best series out there. Most other products are so boring that parents must struggle to stay awake during the production, and there is no way a toddler would tolerate a viewing. My 2-year-old twins request Signing Time all of the time. At home they want the DVDs playing almost constantly. In the car my hearing daughter starts asking for the Signing Time CD before I even have her strapped into her carseat. My 2-year-old deaf daughter is using 5-sign sentences, which is almost unheard of for the deaf child of hearing parents. My extended family owns a total of 6 sets of Signing Time. Whenever my daughters' cousins have a birthday they ask for the latest Signing Time DVDs. Children of all ages love this product.
  
  

• Great for your classroom

  Our school is currently using Signing Time in an after school program to introduce and teach American Sign Language to children ranging in grades K-6. Rachel does a good job of desribing and demonstating the signs. The music and songs create an enjoyable way to reinforce the new signs learned.
  
  

• Sign the animals

  GREAT dvd! My 23 month old loves this dvd. Although he's not really talking he's learning the signs for the animals. I would say this dvd is more for older kids. For example, my son wouldn't know the differece between a chicken and a rooster at this age. Great idea to add the non-farm animals too. The songs are great and our entire family ends up humming on of the signing time songs!

• Much better than earlier volumes
  By A2NGW99F2RZDJV on 2007-09-24
  This video is much better for young ones because it has more songs, the songs are more upbeat, and it is faster paced. My 15 month-old will watch it (though not for as long as Baby Einstein).
  
  
• Signing Fun on the Farm
  By A2OXRI3T3EZ8BJ on 2008-01-06
  All kids love farm animals, and this dvd presents them all with beautiful graphics and catchy songs. You'll get up out of your chair and dance along to the title song, among others. My son, who is fluent in sign language, really loves this episode!! He has brought it in to school for his teacher to share with the class on a rainy day. This is a must have for your young child's high interest sign language collection.
  
  
• Signing Time: Leah's Farm
  By AGGZ08SHDBJ5A on 2008-02-28
  My son, not yet two years old absolutely LOVES this video. He wants to watch it everyday. He has learned so much from it and even shows the animal signs he has learned here when reading other books. The songs are silly and fun. A GREAT way to introduce animal signs to children and their parents.
  
  
• My toddler dances along
  By A2W1XXGXTBXIH1 on 2008-05-27
  This whole series is great for a child who has some vocabulary and is starting to interact socially. Some of the finger-spelling is better for an older child--or for the parent who's watching along. My 16-month-old especially likes the ones with lots of animal names. Leah's Farm has lots of farm animals and also several backyard animals like squirrels and frogs. There is plenty of video of the actual animals, which is nice for kids who are still learning what they are.
  
  There's great music on this DVD, and my little girl dances along even if she doesn't get all the signs. It's fun for me to watch too!
  
  
  
  
• What's all the fuss about????
  By AIUFFRVIJYBPV on 2008-07-31
  I got 6 DVD's already and consider my purchase HUGE waste of money. Even though DVD's run in themes, you don't get all the words for the theme, rather you get a mix of words that don't really connect to each other when you watch the DVD. Music is boring, presentation is boring. My son got excited when I sat him in front of the TV for this, we just started signing to him and he was very interested, but was out of the room in 2 minutes and never paid attention to it again. I watched it and found the music annoying, people signing over and over, you can see their mouth is saying the signing word but you can't hear it, how annoying. Only couple of songs on each DVD, it's mostly people signing over and over in a BORING way. It's also very expensive for what you get. $15-20 per half an hour program. Ouch. They make you buy all the DVD's by cleverly spreading the important words in all the DVD's. We wounded up finding a great ASL dictionary online for FREE and use that to look up words that we want to use, rather than what is given to us. That works great and 2 months later our son can sign 40 words and he is only 16 months old.
