A fun and interactive way to support early communication, First Signs – Animals introduces babies and toddlers to the world of animals through New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL).

This beautifully designed board book features 13 animal signs, each with clear illustrations and simple instructions showing how to perform them. It’s an engaging way to help little ones begin communicating before they can speak, turning everyday moments into meaningful learning experiences.

Children understand far more than they can say, and learning simple signs can help reduce frustration while building confidence and connection. This book makes it easy to introduce signs through familiar animals, making learning fun, visual, and interactive. 

With English and Te Reo Māori translations included, it also celebrates Aotearoa’s languages, making it a meaningful and educational gift for any child.

Perfect for babies and toddlers, this book is a thoughtful addition to a baby gift box, floral delivery, or early learning collection.
