Baby Sign Language Flash Cards Free Download
Raymond Mirowski
Parents often ask me what the best resources are for teaching your baby sign language. What is the best baby sign language book? Do I need to take a class? Can you recommend videos? Flashcards?
Seeing the need to have a handy reference, I created my own baby sign language printable charts for parents and teachers to use at home and in the classroom. These printable charts are organized by theme and can be printed or used on an iPad or other device. I find them to be more useful than flashcards because they help remind you to sign, and how to do the sign, but still allow you to interact in a conversational way with your baby.
To find a good online baby sign language class, check the credentials of the person offering the program to make sure they have completed training in this field. Look to see if they have a background in child development, early childhood education or speech/language development, as well as a solid knowledge of American Sign Language.

Hi! We bought the flash cards pack, and we love them! Thank you!
I see that on the website you have many more flash cards and I was wondering whether it is possible to purchase them in a similar format to the pack we already have.

My son is 5months old. We speak mostly English in our home. I want him to learn Spanish as well as sign language. When I sign to him, should I say the word in English and then in Spanish? or will this confuse him. Is he too young to start using the flash cards?
Many bilingual families use Baby Sign Language as the bridge between two language. I would just say the word in one language and make the accompanying sign. For example, saying agua, and making the water sign. Other times you would say the english water and make the water sign. With the common sign and the common context, your child will learn that agua and water have the same meaning.
The downloadable flash cards are not very diverse. We would like to show more diversity in the flash cards as you suggest. One challenge is that we use a lot of stock photography, and stock photography is not particularly diverse. If you or anyone else has more diverse high quality imagery we can use, it would be greatly appreciated.
Check out our baby sign language basics section for lots of great information on getting started. But, in a nutshell, you are going to pick a handful of basic signs and give him lots of exposure to these signs in context.
I work with a very diverse population and am introducing many new moms to baby sign language. I found these flash cards to be help but it did amaze me that all the photos of people are of only one race ex. (flash cards of; girl, again, happy, grandmother, grandfather, daddy, happy, laugh, sad, mommy, kiss, quiet, excited. I think it would be even more beneficial if they were more reflective of the all the different people that may be using them.
We always welcoming submissions from our community. If you have a photo of little ones signing that will best represent your working group please send it our way and we will incorporate it in the flashcards. In the next few months we will be adding additional flashcards with representation for several cultural groups. We are glad you are here and appreciate your feedback and engagement.

I agree! Baby sign language is AMAZING! It really helped my 6 month old and I communicate better. All I used to hear was babbling and screaming, but now I hear nothing. I just see little baby hands making signs.
