Talking Tots…helping children to communicate with confidence
MumKnowsBest Loves Bamba
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009Discover the techniques used by speech and language therapists to communicate with babies. Bamba was created and developed by experienced Speech and Language therapists to promote early communication skills in all babies without complex learning cycles for their parents.
Suitable for all babies from six months, this award winning premium quality kit contains Bamba, a cuddly monkey and 5 plush toys each one representing baby’s first words.
Why MumKnowsBest Loves it…
Bamba’s Baby Signing Kit is an interactive tool that you can use to communicate with your baby. It teaches the signs for your baby’s most common activites: playing, bathtime, drinking, bedtime, food and awareness of themselves. The kit is designed for ages six to 18 months and is particularly good when babies are showing an interest in the world around them. Within the package comes six soft toy items and a detailed booklet outlining how to use them to stimulate communication with your baby, through play and using sign language. The idea is that this kit will encourage babies to broaden their communication skills, as babies can often communicate with their hands, such as pointing, clapping and waving, long before they develop speech.
What is great about the kit is that it is stimulating for the children and gives us adults some inspiration at playtime when you can sometimes get stuck in the same routine of what you know already works for you and your child. With more than one child, it would be a useful tool for them to interact with one another and promote learning amongst siblings.
Not an essential for your baby’s needs but a great idea for a Christening or first birthday present.
Speak and sign together
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009Remember to use the signs outside of playtime, so for example use baby’s own spoon to remind him of what it represents – food!
Cuddle his blanket as you sign or say “bedtime”. The sign should be used just before and during an activity.
Your baby will now be learning that there is a specific hand movement to represent an important concept and it won’t be long before he will want to try it out for himself.
You can choose your own words to accompany the signs but be consistent, so for example it’s OK to say “num-nums” rather than a more formal (and probably unlikely!) “food time”.
