About this Event

Join us for a fun and friendly course where you and your baby can learn Makaton signs together! Makaton can help babies and toddlers communicate before their words develop, making daily routines easier and boosting early language skills.

What to Expect

Across the course, you’ll learn around 100 useful signs and symbols that help with everyday communication such as:

  • Saying hello
  • Eating and drinking
  • Going out and about
  • Playing and having fun

We practice the signing through songs, stories, games and play — perfect for bonding with your little one!
