Sign, baby, sign!
Kids are always smarter than we give them credit for — and babies are no exception!
If you're a new paren't, caregiver, or you work with small children, you may find that communicating with babies can be funny, frustrating and exciting all at the same time.
Now you can come explore how sign language with babies really works and get started with the support of staff from the Ontario Early Years Centre in Scarborough.
Over the course of four weeks, we'll be working with babies (0-6 months) and their caregivers to improve communication through singing and signing using American Sign Language, or ASL.
This workshop will start on Tuesday, June 11 and carry on to July 2. It will run from 10 AM to 12 PM, with a 30 minute story time at the end of each session provided by children's librarians.
Space is limited, so be sure to register for this workshop ahead of time! Call the Early Years Centre to book your spot: 416-438-1800.
Don't forget, the Toronto Public Library offers tons of resources to get you talking and playing with your little one easily, including the Let's Get Ready for Reading Guide that you can place a hold on, or purchase for your personal collection. For more baby-friendly materials, programs and more, come and see a Children's Librarian in your branch!
