LEARNING BABY SIGN LANGUAGE AT THE ROSENHOF
Baby Sign Language – Sign Language for Babies
Understanding Children's Needs
Whether they’re big or still very small—everyone wants to be able to express themselves. Babies, too, want to communicate as best they can. However, new parents often find themselves struggling to understand their child’s wants and needs.
Most children say their first words between the ages of one and two. The ideal time to start teaching baby sign language is between the sixth and ninth months of life. By then, babies usually have the necessary motor skills to coordinate their hands. However, a child’s ability to learn baby sign language isn’t necessarily determined by their age. As soon as a child drops a toy and looks for it, points at things, or imitates gestures, you can start teaching sign language.
Young children have a lot of fun expressing themselves using baby sign language. Every word can be communicated with simple hand movements. For example, words like “milk,” “sleep,” “hot,” or “play” can be easily conveyed through signs.
At the Rosenhof, we offer a baby sign language course from babySignal that’s the perfect addition to your family vacation . Baby sign language is a wonderful addition to family life, especially when there are siblings.

Learn Baby Sign Language at the Rosenhof
I'm Barbara, a mother of two daughters and a babySignal instructor.
Using sign language in our daily lives brings us joy and fun every day. For me, because I see how happily my child embraces this opportunity, eagerly learns new signs, and how I understand her more clearly. For her, because she feels understood, can communicate her thoughts clearly, and can’t wait to show me the signs she already knows.
I'd love to share this enthusiasm with you and your child in my workshops!
Through games and songs, I’d like to introduce you to baby sign language and show you how you can incorporate it into your daily lives. The focus is always on the joy of shared communication between parents and children—and on strengthening their special bond.
Upcoming dates in 2026: TBD

What is babySignal all about?
We’ve all seen it: A baby raises a hand to wave “bye-bye.” Another child points at something so we’ll look in that direction. Children like hand gestures, and they find it easy to make them—that’s how they communicate with us when speaking is still difficult.
babySignal draws on this form of communication to provide children—and those around them—with a tool that allows them to express themselves in a more nuanced way.
With babySignal, you'll learn more hand gestures for everyday life with your baby: what are known as baby signs. We teach the authentic signs from German Sign Language.
These signs make it possible to gain early insights into your child’s world of experiences. Your child will realize that, using baby signs, they can express what they see, hear, experience, and want—and that they will be understood.
