Baby Signing Time! Volume 2 DVD Reviews

• Not as fun as Volume 1

  
  By ASYQFDFXVDW4R on 2007-04-03
  We have Baby Signing Time Volumes 1 and 2. Volume 1 is much more fun and engaging - at least to our baby. The music in Vol. 2 is a little less catchy, and the signs taught aren't as relevant (other than "Please, Thank You, Sorry") Our baby loves Volume 1 so much, and seems less interested in Vol. 2 that we mostly play Vol. 1 for him.
  
  

• Amazing

  I recently purchased Baby Signing Time Vol 1&2 along with Signing Time Vol 1 & 2. My son is 18 months old and my husband and I have been trying to teach him a few signs on our own for months. He was picking them up, but slowly. He's been watching the 4 videos off and on for 2 weeks and has picked up 16 new signs. I have been amazed with his progress. He really enjoys all of the videos; it is great the way they incorporate other children signing. I am planning on buying the rest of the series as well as the Baby Signing Time Vol 1&2 for my niece who is 4 months younger.
  
  

• Fantastic !

  This two volume set of baby sign language DVDs will help your baby be more easily understood. It is fun to watch, with bright colors and happy songs. Older kids as well as adults find them fun! After a few viewings, with assistance from family members, baby soon gets the idea. Soon baby will start making crude signs for things like "milk" and "eat". Then everyone knows exactly what baby wants, and baby gets gratification with minimal tears.
  
  I wish these were available sooner. Everyone should try them, they are wonderful ! We love "The Diaper Dance!!"
  
  

• Educational and Entertaining

  My daughter was 3 yrs old when we got these DVDs. She absolutely loved watching the babies, especially baby Hopkins. At first she was used to the format of Signing Time Vol 1-3 so it took her a couple of times to show interest in Baby Signing Time. The beginning of the video is more upbeat, with more movement and towards the end it mellows down, in terms of music. The signs are super easy for babies and the songs just tie everything together. Highly recommended for the under 4 crowd.
  
  

• Very, very good!

  We bought these to take with us on vacation so the kids could watch them on our 4 hour drive. I wanted to get our one year old started with signing, we signed with our two other children and it was great to be able to know what they wanted our needed.
  
  The music is great, even my husband sings it around the house, and the older children watch it and help reinforce the signs with the baby.
  
  I would highly recommend it.
  
  They used Singing Time DVD's at our middle child's preschool and she picked it up so fast. So once I saw the Baby Signing Times DVDs I knew it would be great.
  
  
• Baby Signing Vol 2
  By AFZHBSSHP9J35 on 2007-10-22
  This video is more advanced. It will be great for my son when he is a little older. I think it's more for 2 to 3 year olds.
  
  
• Vol.2 did not disappoint!
  By AU58JSYW9T5UD on 2007-11-14
  I bought vol. 1 and 2 at the suggestion of a coworker. I found a good price here on Amazon ($25 or so for both). I started letting her watch it at 5 months--not too interested. I let her watch a few more times when she was 6 months, she would watch about 10-15 minutes before she lost interest. Around 7 months, she was hooked! She sits from the time I put in the dvd, until the credits roll. She is very engaged and we try to review the signs with her as we watch. She LOVES hopkins the frog. The kids are adorable and they demonstrate how a child may interepret the signs (their interpretation is not always exact I've learned!). She is now 8.5 months old and I just introduced the vol.2 and she just loves it! It gives us great time together, I sing the songs to her about "its time to eat" and "diaper dance" and "mom has a mom..." and she just smiles with delight and recognition. I highly recommend!
  
  
• vol 1 is better
  By A1UYCF295HL3WS on 2008-01-25
  Volume 1 is a favorite for my 19 month old daughter (and husband!), but vol 2 is only so-so, the songs just aren't nearly as catchy.
  
  
• Great! Entertaining & Educational
  By AFSPHFJK295P3 on 2008-06-07
  Our 14 month old now sings a couple of dozen signs thanks to Signing Time!
  (She also says a couple of dozen words with few overlaps)
  Signing with our baby has not only reduced frustrations, but has added a great, stimulating, activity for our family!
  
  THANK YOU SIGNING TIME!
  
  (Oh yeah, Amazon was great to buy from as usual...)
  
  
• great dvd
  By A2XBR42SAH8FFW on 2008-06-14
  This dvd is great.My 16 month old watched it once and remembered at least 6 of the signs,socks and shoes was the first i asked him and that was the next day and he new what i said without speaking.we have been signing since he was 6 months he does very well even though he can hear.
  
  
• Great for adults too, I love it.
  By A3NOBH42C7UI5M on 2007-04-17
  I watch it with my 4 month old grandson. He loves seeing the little children and babies on TV and he watches pretty intently for about 1/2 the video; pretty normal at this age, I think. When it show a sign for something, like a shoe, it says the word, shows shoes and kids playing with shoes, as well as everyone signing the word shoe. So it doesn't only teach sign, it actually teaches vocabulary. Personally, I love it for me. I'd been wanting to take classes to learn sign and these are easy and fun. I highly recommend it, and the other signing times videos to the whole family. They're short, only about half hour, so no time to get bored. They are very easy to follow and understand.
  
  
• Great addition - lots of fun!
  By A1BAKOBBF6W7EZ on 2007-08-29
  My daughter LOVES this video. We also have Volume 1. She gets so excited about these and will now ask (signing "baby" and grabbing the remote) for them. I spend a lot of time showing her signs and working with her, but she still loves to see the other babies signing. The songs are fun and the illustrations are pretty much the same as Vol. 1. There are also a lot of the same kids in both Vol. 1 and 2, which is nice because it keeps it familiar.
  
  
• Love it!
  By AAR683IX4NYGO on 2007-09-24
  My 14 month old son LOVES this DVD! It's great that the kids are the ones helping teach the signing.
  
  
• Great travel time in the car with this one!
  By A2GFFQOV3T6E9U on 2007-10-05
  Definitely get the DVD to watch along with this ... it's such a great series! I've been signing with my 18 month old daughter for about 6 months and it's great. The words and tunes are wonderful...my daughter asks to watch the video and listen to the CD in the car everyday! Lots of fun and it has also helped with our ability to communicate!
  
  
• my son loves this DVD!
  By A2C37KUHJF0B3I on 2007-11-23
  I haven't been consistent with teaching my son to sign, but he loves the DVD and the songs keep him entertained. I've tried a coupole of Baby Einstein and Baby Genius DVDs and he didn't care for them because there wasn't any singing, it's just instrumental music. But with the Signing Time DVDs he gets to see other babies and he likes the woman in the video.
  
  
• Fun and Useful!
  By A1X2GWDA6TTWY8 on 2007-11-27
  My son was watching signing time from TV before he was one and some of the material were a bit too advanced for him. So I decided to get him the baby signing time volumes 1 and 2. These are great because they cater to signs that are most useful to babies and toddlers! A song accompanies each sign along with various babies and toddlers signing them and pictures. My son loves dancing to the music has learned many of not all of the signs. Watched them practically every day and used the signs to communicate from about 1 or so (eat, more, milk). He had a language explosion at around 16 or so months and started speaking and signing a lot of the words. Now, at two, he is speaking more and signing less but still enjoys watching these videos!
  
  
• for older babies
  By A2IMQA2NPERLIW on 2007-12-03
  I started the "My First Signs" from Baby Einstein at around 5 months, and my baby loves it. He watched it every day for a long time. But I get sick of the same thing over and over, and the later Baby Einstein videos with sign language don't really teach babies the signs--there is not enough reinforcement. So I looked around for another series and bought this DVD and a "My Baby Can Talk" at the same time. This DVD was not interesting to my 8-month-old. He likes the "My Baby Can Talk," but this one spends too long on one idea to hold his attention. We will try it again in several more months, though.
  
  
• Great DVD-My grandson loves it!
  By A3S7F057Z7FWZR on 2008-01-07
  My grandson loves to watch this. He can't make the signs yet(6 mo old) but, when I make the signs, he watches and seems to understand!
  
  
• Awesome
  By A5YEXP1YAYJH6 on 2008-01-12
  I bought this for my 18 month old niece. She already loves vol.1 and now loves vol 2. She asks for them by name. She loves to sign with the movie and then incorporates the signs that she have learned from it into her daily life. It is a great choice. I like it a lot better than the Baby Einstein signing video.
  
  
• excellent!!!!!
  By ALDW4L46I91M4 on 2008-02-15
  My 2 yr old LOVES Signing Time! it's the only thing he will watch! Thank goodness it's educational! I had read a review of the Baby ST that said they didn't like it as well as the regular ST dvds. So, I was reluctant to purchase them. Fortunately our library has vol. 1 of the Baby ST, I thought it was Great and since my son has mastered most of the signs in vol. 1, I purchased vol 2. HE LOVES IT! perfect for bedtime, as the 'bedtime' signs are at the end of the dvd. It is more animated than the regular ST dvds, but ever bit as good. The signs are all very usable for kids 1-2 yrs old.
  
  
• Give your baby a way to communicate!
  By A39WMFAO2L7R5I on 2008-04-05
  My 3 year old grandson has all the baby signing times videos and knows all the signs. Once, he was able to tell his parents his older brother was hurt outside. He has also been able to tell them when he was hungry, thirsty or hurt. The ability to communicate before they are really able to speak all these words is absolutely invaluable and avoids much frustration and acting out due to an inability to make themselves known. I just bought the first 2 videos for my youngest grandson.

  By A3NROA2WYHYCXT on 2008-04-06
  Great video. my daughter is 16 months old and is rally picking up the signs, which makes it so m uch easier for her to communicate. THe music is uplifting and the baby looks forward to watching the video.
  
  
• Great way for your baby to learn!
  By A2P4PCTNYNGI8W on 2008-05-15
  My daughter wasn't sure about this at first and ignored it the first time we watched, but now she is obsessed with it and so proud of herself when she makes the signs herself. These are great dvds and my daughter loves to dance to the songs as well!

  By AAC85928EJB2Y on 2008-06-02
  This is a great video series for communicating with your baby or toddler. Children seem fascinated to watch other children and pick up the signs very quickly. I feel confident with the entire series and know that the DVDs are both entertaining and educational.
  
  
• Great Program
  By A3NSDSLZ9HTWIM on 2008-06-16
  I bought this for my twin toddlers (they both can hear) I had already begun teaching them ASL but they seemed to explode with understanding and new signs once I got these and I also purchased 1-13 of the regular ones. Plus we have volume 2 of baby signing time. It has helped me to learn ASL as well. I'm really glad I found out about Signing Time. My twins are almost 2 years old now and were starting with tantrums and it was all because of communication problems. They almost never throw tantrums now because they can communicate with me. It also helps me understand what they are saying since so many of their words are not easy to understand yet as their speech is not developed enough. For example dada and kitty sound very similar but now I can tell the two apart when they use the signs with the words. If you are using ASL in your home or are interested in using baby sign language you have to have signing time videos. It cost me a couple hundred dollars to buy the 15 dvds and the sing alongs but I would do it all over again. They have paid for themselves over and over with hours of fun and learning and a less-stressed mommy, too!
  
  
• Better than the last
  By A3VCC1D2TIUAEU on 2008-06-18
  Vol 2 is better than Vol 1. "Regular" signing time is better, but at least in the baby version, parents can recognize the "baby step attempts" their little ones are trying to sign back.
  
  
• Son loves these videos
  By A1WUOGDFIHPPN5 on 2008-07-04
  We've had another signing video before but it did not have as much as this one on it. They are very easy to learn and my little one does more and more everyday even when he hasn't seen it for a while.
  
  
• wonderful!
  By ASWGTIEZ4DTGW on 2008-07-16
  I use this for my daycare kids and they just love it! It really helps the children communicate much earlier.
  
  
• this is a great DVD
  By A17FIMLRQ3R1C5 on 2008-07-27
  I would recommend this DVD to anyone that has children 6 months to 3 years old. I have a daughter that is 2 1/2 and has limited speech. She has learned the signs to many objects, thank's to these signing dvd and now she can communicate with me.
  
  
• Little one *loves* it!
  By ASB43VXVO5WQA on 2008-08-16
  Great video -- our Little One loves it. Although it is not obvious at the beginning, it is every bit as catchy as BST 1. It has really helped our daughter figure out what communication is and how to do it...
