From day 1 it can be difficult to know what your baby wants as they are unable to verbally tell us. We eventually get to know what our baby’s different cries mean and as our baby gets older they learn to point at things they want but they can still become frustrated when we don’t know what they want when they want it!
This is where Baby Sign Language comes in to play and can be so beneficial for you and your baby. We have a great blog entry from our wonderful sign language presenters and local mom, Tanya Myrfield-Wolfe of My Smart Hands Saskatoon!
Imagine…
-Reducing frustration and tantrums
-Knowing what your baby/toddler is needing
-Developing language and literacy skills before your child is 1
-Learn to explore and play with your child
Baby Sign Language (ages 4 months to 3 years of age) has been researched for over 25 years! The benefits are amazing.
Join My Smart Hands Saskatoon for an 8 week Level class or our monthly workshop!! Together, we will learn to communicate with signing by using songs, stories, activities and have opportunities to learn through discussions!

Hey there. I was just emailing to ask about pricing. It says $10/family. Is that per class? If so, that would be $40/week for the 8 week course, correct? Thank you!! We look forward to hearing back.
