Singing Hands

Signing fun for little ones

We have been greatly impressed by the level of concentration achieved by the children not only during the programme but in activities we follow through with. Playwam are happy to recommend ‘Singing Hands’. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome!

Suzanne and Tracy sign 'biscuit'

We are Suzanne and Tracy, co-founders of Singing Hands and we introduce you to the amazing world of signs through songs, rhymes, stories and games.

Babies have a natural tendency to use gesture (eg. clapping and waving bye-bye) and introducing some baby signs will build on these normal patterns of communication development.

In our baby signing classes we show parents/carers a range of signs to help communicate with a young baby. We show you signs for MORE, ALL GONE and MILK to help your little one communicate his/her needs before their speech has developed.

To experience our unique and enthusiastic approach to learning language and having fun with music, find out more about our baby signing classes, toddler signing classes and school/nursery sessions.

Singing Hands and Something Special

Mr Tumble

In early 2005, we filmed a little segment for the ‘arched window’ on BBC Cbeebies Tikkabilla. In this slot, which was first shown in December 2005, we did a signed sing-a-long session (including our fave song ‘Mmm mmm frog’) with a group of children. It was a really inclusive session with our own kids plus other children from local schools and nurseries that we visit, some toddlers who had attended our baby signing classes and some friends from the Toy Library for Children with Special Needs.

We were therefore delighted to then be invited by the Producer of Something Special to contribute to this new series. You will see from the list below that five of the new episodes are focused specifically on showing you how to sign nursery rhymes and songs. These episodes feature a magical nursery rhyme world with a castle and a blue road for Justin to explore…....
