 have also found the following AUSLAN websites quite useful.  Hope you do too

http://www.signplanet.net/BabySign/BabySignPrint.asp  (you can print up your
own flash cards!)
free downloads:

http://www.signplanet.net/SubContent/BabySignsBooklet.pdf

http://www.signplanet.net/SigningKids/SigningKidsSearch.asp  - allows you to do a kids tutorial and search for a sign


The best site is:
http://www.auslan.org.au/  - can look up signs for words and watch a video on line as to how to do the sign

I bought the Baby Signs book package, where you got a poster, a book & a brochure for around $30..I was a little disappointed with what I got for my money. I'd heard raves about the package, so bought it.

Hi, after much deliberation I have just bought the 'Hands up and Sing' dvd and 'My first signs' childrens book from this website. It also looks as though I'll get a discount as a nsw playgroup member. Hands up and Sign is a nursery rhymes dvd with animation and a young lady signing at the front of the screen. There are 17 songs apparently slowed down so the child will catch the signing on screen. Anyway I wanted to teach my son a bit of sign language and have asked extensively other parents about the actions that go with nursery rhymes. (Hardly anyone knows them). So hoping this will kill two birds with one stone. If you are interested I'll let you know my opinion once they arrive and we watch them.

Jillpea - I am looking forward to seeing how your son finds the DVDs and what you think of them too.  Learning to sign to nursery rhymes would be a potentially fun way to learn some sign language - but how much practical use will it be for communication with your child before they can verbalise?
I feel really overwhelmed at times with the vast number of educational dvds/CD-ROMs/books/materials etc there are available to use to teach our children!!

Hi Fellow Aussies,
As promised here is my review on the Hands up and Sing DVD (Nursery rhymes). We've had it on for a few days now and I think it is pretty good. My 14 month old isn't quite as interested as he is in the YBCR but he's very interested in the songs he already knows from the YBCR dvd's such as Twinkle Twinkle and Old MacDonald. There are two hearing presenters which are really good, personable and easy to follow. There is also one deaf presenter who although is nice to have for the deaf community, she obviously doesn't know the rhymes and misses her cues. She is really hard to follow for me, so my son has no hope. It's a shame. She only does two songs by herself out of about 17 so its not too bad.

Although it's only nursery rhymes it's really easy to pick up words you could use in every day language. They has simplified the actions and slowed down the songs so it's relatively easy to start picking up the Auslan actions. My son is starting to try and do a little something with his hands when its on so I think he's picking up the point of the dvd. I do think that the $39 price tag is too much. I would price it easily at $24.95 maybe even $29 but not almost $40. Maybe if you have a friend that will go halves with you and share it, it would be worth it. I'm thinking of sharing it with my playgroup, I think all the kids would benefit from it.

G'day Aussies.

I too have bought hands up and sing. My initial thought is that it is good but not great to have a $40 price tag. Yes the nursery rhymes are easy to follow but they could have had subtitles come up so you knew which sign related to each word.

My little DD really enjoys it and does try to copy the signs. The hearing impaired girl is a nice touch but you can see she is out of time with the music, which dosen't help if your child is trying to learn the signs. I think the 17 nursery rhymes are lovely and your child will learn signs that will help you and him/her with communicating with each other.

I would give this DVD a 7/10.
