Build on early communication skills with First Signs – Everyday Words 2, a beautifully designed board book that helps babies and toddlers continue learning New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL).

This follow-on book expands on the original Everyday Words, introducing 13 additional essential signs with clear illustrations and easy-to-follow guidance. It’s a simple and engaging way to help little ones express their needs, thoughts, and feelings before they can speak.

Designed especially for growing learners, this version includes more advanced everyday words such as “I love you,” “hot,” “cold,” and “toilet”, making it ideal as children develop their communication skills.

Using sign language from an early age can help reduce frustration, strengthen connection, and support language development, turning everyday interactions into meaningful learning moments.
