Let's learn together!

Do you want to teach your little one vocabulary for everything they see when you're out on a walk together?

Are you looking for exciting games & straightforward strategies to show your toddler new words?

Do you need guidance in boosting your child's language development as they grow and learn more about the world around them?

The Great Outdoors mini-course helps you...

  • build confidence

    Your child WANTS to communicate to you about everything they see in the world! As they learn and are able to tell you more about their interests, your child will build more confidence to interact with you and others.

  • have a deeper bond

    Learning together helps you feel closer to your little one. As you play, sing, and laugh with your them, your baby will feel closer to you, too! And you'll get activities to use year-round through every season as you continue to develop a deeper bond.

  • expand vocabulary

    Children are the most motivated to learn when you're doing something FUN! The songs and games in this course keep your little one engaged, so they're more likely to start signing back to you with ALL signs, not just the ones in this course.

a big speech win

by M.K.

Thank you so much for this wonderful resource! We purchased all the books you recommended in the course, and now our boy is really loving them. He attempted to sign train and plane, learned the sign for dog, and we had a big speech win... he attempted to say train twice while reading a book! I'm so glad we can support his interests with the signs and resources in this course. And it's giving him the confidence to communicate verbally, too!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What signs can I expect to learn in this course?

    The Great Outdoors mini-course has over 80 signs, including signs for everything you'll see when you're on a walk with your baby, at the playground, having a day at the beach, or in the forest on a camping trip. You'll also learn signs for the weather, seasons, vehicles, insects, and neighborhood animals.

  • How long do I have access to this course?

    Forever! This course comes with unlimited lifetime access. You can watch it again and again, as many times as you'd like. And you can rewatch it when you need to refresh your memory on using these signs with future children.

  • Does baby sign language delay speech?

    No. There has been zero research to support the myth that baby signing will delay speech. Research has found only benefits to using baby sign language, and some research has even found that babies who learned baby sign language began to speak earlier than their peers and had a more advanced vocabulary.

  • What age group is this course intended for?

    Sign Language is beneficial for children at every age! This course is for all families, no matter how old your little one is, and regardless of whether or not they're speaking yet.

  • What's the difference between this mini-course and your other courses?

    The Great Outdoors mini-course is themed for everything that's outdoors. Other Sign 'n Grow courses have different themes or focuses.

    This course is not intended for families who are first starting out with signing. If you're getting started, please see the Baby Signs for Growing Minds Ultimate course and mini-course. You aren't required to complete other courses before taking this one.

  • I have your other courses. Will this course contain only new signs I haven't seen before?

    If you have other Sign 'n Grow courses, you may spot a few signs you've seen before that match the theme of this course and other ones. For example, the sign for CAT is in the Baby Signs for Growing Minds Ultimate course and is also in this course because cats fall into the "neighborhood animals" category! But of course, most of the signs in this course are signs that you won't find in other courses, and the songs are all unique to this course.

  • Is this course captioned?

    Yes, this entire course has accurate English captions available. Just click on the "CC" button on each video to watch with captions.

Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I'm Mary! I'm an ASL interpreter with a degree in Deaf Studies. I used signs with my daughter and it was so helpful for the many months before she started talking!

I know what it's like to be frustrated when you don't know what your baby needs from you, and to feel helpless and wish there was something you could do.

I'm here to help! My Baby Signs for Growing Minds complete course and mini-course have brought thousands of parents and their babies closer together through the power of early communication. My mission is to decrease the everyday stress that happens during the time your baby knows their wants and needs but can't say the words out loud yet.

Now, with The Great Outdoors mini-course, I'm happy to bring even more fun, laughter, and bonding into your home. I hope you'll enjoy learning with the whole family in this course! Happy Signing!
