Musical Hands offer Signing classes for all ages and each class is written according to the children's age and developmental stage of learning.
We have: Baby Signing & Music, Toddler Sign, Music & Movement and Pre-School Sing, Dance & Sign Classes.
Lots of our classes have Daddy's, Grandparents and childminders bringing the children, as well as Mother's, so please don't think our classes are exclusive to Mum's and children only - all are welcome to Musical Hands classes.
The classes are fun, friendly, musical and enjoyable for all!
We use: Traditional Songs

Pop Songs
Puppets

Parachutes
Feathers

Bubbles
And lots, lots more
All to engage and interact with children and adults together.
Most of the signing classes end with FREE tea and coffee and a chance for parents to chat to each other or to the teacher and there is also the opportunity in each of these classes to WIN your next term for FREE!
Even if you do not want to sign with your child or they can already talk and communicate, you can still join and enjoy this class....we are now regularly running these classes in many pre-schools and schools in Crawley and signing is now being introduced to children in lots of schools.
BENEFITS:
I am very often asked by parents whether signing with babies or children can inhibit their speech....and the answer is a definite NO...it will not. There is even research to suggest that signing with a child can actually enhance and develop their speech, language and use of vocabulary.
We still have some of our very first babies in our classes, 3 years after Musical Hands started and they are all very clever, musical, enthusiastic and amazing 3 year olds, who all sign as well as talk....... A LOT!!
There are many benefits associated to signing with babies and children. Please feel free to visit the links below to view this research for yourself:
