Why the Baby Signs® Program Is the Perfect Gift for New Parents This Season

Choosing the perfect gift for new parents can feel overwhelming—especially when you want to give something meaningful, useful, and long-lasting. This season, thousands of families around the world are turning to the Baby Signs® Program, and it’s easy to see why. Instead of clothes babies outgrow or toys that get forgotten, Baby Signs® offers something far more valuable: a way to strengthen communication and connection from the very beginning.

Whether you’re shopping for expectant parents, new parents, or caregivers navigating the toddler stage, the Baby Signs® Program is a gift that truly makes a difference.

A Gift That Eases Daily Life for Families

Babies have so much to say long before they can talk. When they can communicate through simple, meaningful signs, life gets easier for everyone.

With simple signs, parents can understand their child’s needs and feelings—leading to fewer tears, smoother routines, and more peaceful days. New parents quickly discover how empowering it is when their baby can sign milk, more, all done, or help before they have the words.

This gift doesn’t just support the baby—it helps the whole family thrive.

A Gift That Grows With the Child

Unlike toys or gadgets that are used for a short time, signs grows with a child’s development.

Families learn:

  • Foundational communication skills

  • Early literacy and vocabulary building

  • Social-emotional regulation

  • Confidence during playtime, mealtime, bedtime, and beyond

From infancy through the toddler years, signing supports connection and learning every step of the way.

Research-Backed and Created by Child Development Experts

The Baby Signs® Program was developed by child development researchers Dr. Linda Acredolo and Dr. Susan Goodwyn. Their federally funded research found that babies who used the Baby Signs® Program:

  • developed larger vocabularies,

  • began combining words sooner, and

  • showed advanced language skills well into toddlerhood.

Follow-up studies later found that these early language advantages continued into childhood, with signing babies scoring higher on measures of verbal development.

These research findings confirmed what parents feel every day – signing helps babies communicate earlier, reduces frustration, and strengthens bonding.

Parents aren’t just receiving a “gift”—they’re gaining proven tools for their child’s development.

This time of year often brings schedule changes, travel, overstimulation, and big emotions for little ones. Signing helps families navigate:

  • Transitions

  • New environments

  • Meeting new people

  • Delayed naps or meals

  • Increased sensory input

It becomes a comforting, predictable communication tool—something every new parent appreciates.
