Independent review (Talking Tots Great Toy Guide www.greattoyguide.com):

The 2008 Talking Tots Great Toy Guide: the independent guide to educational toys for pre-schoolers said:

"This first signing kit promotes natural gestures and language development. We love the fact that it's based on the words that are most meaningful to young babies. It's beautifully made and gorgeously tactile, too!"

Great Toy for Communication

"Communication is one of the most important skills your child will ever learn. Good communication is about so more than just talking; it's the ability to be understood, to listen to others and to share and take turns in a conversation."

What the testers said:

"Gorgeous, cute toys that are exceptional quality and have a luxury feel. The idea behind the kit is fantastic, as communication is important, and this kit works surprisingly well with such young children. Bamba's First Comforts is durable, portable and storable. It catered well for the age range and the children loved to play with it. It is extremely useful to develop skills, such as physical, social and emotional development, communication and understanding of the world. It really appealed to the children throughout the trial, with interest and enjoyment from start to finish."

Description:

"Bamba's First Comforts is a baby signing kit that uses simple gestures, allowing babies and toddlers to express their needs. Babies love to hold and feel the specially designed toys which help them communicate, encouraging speech and reducing frustration."

Independent product review (www.frombumptogrump.co.uk):

OUR 12 MONTH OLD IS A VERY HAPPY BABY

“First things first, this product looks just as good as the photos and even better. From the box (which you will keep forever) to each of the plush toys, everything is top quality and ultra luxurious. Baby signing classes are a current favourite but this kit makes it ultra easy to do at home. The idea is to assist babies to communicate what they need through the “props” - the benefits if this is successful are obvious, increasing bonding, confidence and giving a head start in the communication stakes. Designed for babies 6 months to 18 months, our 12 month old tester was ideally placed, and we felt at the right age to benefit from this. She loved the toys and was quickly aware of what they meant as she already had started to acquire that knowledge. Our worry was that using these may replace verbal communication, but this was not the case, and the two worked perfectly together, resulting in a confident, and most importantly, very happy baby indeed.” (May 2008)
