In classes, I encourage families to introduce new signs each week. This is usually based on our new weekly theme. Your little one’s first signs maybe very surprising! For example: Mr E’s second word was “light” followed by “fan”! Miss K’s second word was “puppy” at just 7 months of age.
What is Mr. E signing?
Keep learning new signs and find fun ways to sign, play & explore with our little one!
(Hint: Mr. E is signing “share”)

Wow, today we had graduation at My Smart Hands Saskatoon!
We congratulated 21 Level I families in 3 classes and 8 Level II families! I am always amazed at seeing how the families change and grow in the short weeks we have together!
Here is some of the great fun we had in our classes. We were learning about emotions in Level I! In Level II we were learning about weather and seasons.
Play is very important for a child’s development. In play, they are exploring their world! Littles are learning how things move, how they can use their motor skills, working on language development and of course assists with their imagination. Play is a child’s work! Here Mr. E and Miss K are playing with a Christmas themed sensory bin. Inside there are ribbon bows, string of beads, pom poms, bells, snowflakes and bamboo spoons!
While Mr. E is very good at this type of play, we need to carefully monitor Miss K while she explores. Often the phase “out of your mouth” is signed and spoken.
Remember that sensory based learning time is well supervised time!
