🐭✨ Sign of the Week: Mouse!
This week in our Baby College classes we’re learning the Makaton sign for mouse. It’s a lovely little sign that babies often find very easy to copy!
To sign mouse, use your index finger to gently touch or tap the tip of your nose. This represents the tiny twitching nose of a mouse. 🐭
Using signs alongside speech helps babies:
💬 understand words earlier
🧠 support communication and language development
👶 express themselves before they can talk
Try it at home while reading animal books, singing songs about animals, or playing with toy mice!
Have a go with your little one and let me know if they try it! 🐭💚
