Are you looking for a fun weekly activity for you and your pre-verbal child to do together while also helping them to learn sign language? We are looking for more friends to join our Kindermusik "Sign & Sing" class offered by Tiny Talkers! Dads, Grandparents & Nannies are encouraged to bring their kids (moms too of course!).

Through songs, music, toys, simple instruments and loving playtime between you and your child, this class will show you many signs your child can use to communicate with you. Using research-proven methods shown to speed language development in hearing children, you'll see how sign language can ease frustration and enhance long-term learning abilities for your child.

A new session begins next Thursday!

Session A: Feb.21-March 21, 9:45-10:45 am

Where: Euphoria Studios: 1235 SE Division in Portland

Please pre-register!More info can be found here: http://tinytalkers.blogspot.com/

Looking for a fun musical camp for your 2-4 year old?

Tiny Talkers is now enrolling for their Kindermusik SUMMER CAMP!

Theme: "Carnival of Music"
M/W/F June 25, 27, 29 10-11 am
Ages 2-4 years old
Location: The Warehouse: 3434 SE Milwaukie Ave., Portland OR 97202
Cost: $50 (includes take home materials: cd which includes all the songs from the class, egg shaker & family guide with includes the Shoofly Pie story that we will read in class)

Children are compulsive music makers. They hum in the bathtub, sing along with the radio in the car, and love the opportunity to use wooden spoons and pots from the kitchen as drums. That's why they will absolutely love Carnival of Music. In class, your child will explore and play various musical instruments. Your child will develop comfort with instruments and his ability to play them, increasing his likelihood of playing instruments as he gets older.

Parent participation is welcome and encouraged in this class (or if you need a break you are welcome to hang out in the cafe if your child is comfortable with you leaving)

Siblings are only an additional $20 for the whole week.
