ANYONE walking through Millets Farm yesterday will have seen a lot of babies flailing their arms in the air.
Far from being a call for help, this was a summer party where babies could sing and sign.
The Sing and Sign programme encourages early communication between parent and baby through the use of gestures.
Karen Bisp, co-franchisee of Sign and Sign in Oxfordshire, said: “They pick up the signs from what we do in classes and what their parents do at home.”
“We did some singing and everybody brought a picnic.”
Kathryn Keeping took her 22-month-old son Xander – who has been learning the signs for around a year – to the summer party.
She said: “It was a brilliant day. The children just love going to the lessons.
“The other day Xander got stung by a wasp and he signed to me that he had been stung.”
Anyone interested in joining Sign and Sign classes should visit signandsign.co.uk.
