DVDs
My children’s favorite DVDs are by Signing Time and Sign-a-Lot.
You can look them up at:
http://www.signingtime.com/
http://www.signingtimekids.org/
http://www.signalot.com/
The Signing Time series are sometimes played on PBS. Much fun to watch :-)
The Sign-A-Lot DVDs can also be purchased in our online store!
