I recently had the opportunity to review the lovely book, My First Animal Signs for Timberdoodle.
This is a large board book filled with delightful drawings of little children and directions to sign each animal. I used this book with our three year old, Leah.
Leah was genuinely delighted while looking through the pages. The little children were very drawing for her.
We first tried the cat,
and then the snake. {eww}
We worked through the book, and then I signed a few that we had covered, to see if she could recall any of them. She did, I think she could learn them all if we sat with this book a few times each week. Going through the book was fun for her, and not a chore in any way.
Seeing the little children signing was a real encouragement for Leah.
As a mom, I also appreciated seeing different children with different ethnicities. The child with the hearing aid is an easy way to help a child understand why signing is important.
The back of the book has a visual explanation of the hand gestures that are the base of the signs contained in the book. There are 48 delightful signs about animals in this title, ranging from your family pet, to the exotic.
Timberdoodle also included their planning folder for toddlers, which comes with all of their Core Curriculum Kits and covers what they carry in the kit (there is a folder for each grade level you order) and why that item is in their kit. The kit also has a planning page to keep track of your learning, as well as some helpful articles about homeschooling and tips from other homeschooling families.
I would recommend this colorful and charming book to anyone with a toddler in their home. Our older children also enjoyed looking through it, and it is delightful for adults as well. My First Animal Signs makes me smile, and the current price of $6.75 is another bonus!
You can learn more about Timberdoodle’s Core Curriculum Kits here. You can see what is included in the Toddler Core Curriculum specifically, here. Don’t forget to request your free catalog, I love it when a new issue arrives, Timberdoodle has the best catalog out there and is always peppered with parent reviews.
