Baby Sign Language App
Baby sign language app for parents, babies, and toddlers
ASL Kids helps families practice baby signs with real kid-friendly signing videos. Start with a few useful signs, watch the sign in motion, say the word out loud, and use it during real routines like meals, diaper changes, bath time, bedtime, and play.
- Free to download on iPhone, iPad, and Android.
- Real children demonstrate common ASL and baby signs.
- Includes beginner signs, baby sign language, alphabet practice, and quiz-style review.
Start with one routine
The easiest way to use a baby sign language app is not to open every category at once. Pick one routine first. For meals, practice milk, more, eat, drink, help, and all done. For bedtime, practice sleep, tired, book, milk, bath, and night-night. Watch each sign, model it while saying the word, and respond to your baby’s attempts.
Who this baby signing app helps
Useful first signs
Use ASL Kids when your child is ready for simple daily signs such as milk, more, all done, help, sleep, bath, book, mom, dad, hurt, and happy.
Quick sign checks
Open the app before a routine so adults can check the sign, model it clearly, and keep using the same sign with the same spoken word.
Shared practice
Because children see other kids signing, siblings, daycare staff, and preschool teachers can join in without turning practice into a formal lesson.

The app is the video practice tool. If you want a physical reminder on the fridge, in a diaper bag, or at daycare, keep it small and match it to the same signs you practice in the app.
Responsible baby sign guidance
Baby signs can support early communication, but use them with speech, reading, singing, responsive interaction, and real routines. If you have concerns about hearing, speech, language, feeding, development, or communication access, talk with your pediatrician, audiologist, SLP, Deaf educator, or care team.
