I wrote this song to teach the youngest children (1-2 year olds) a few simple animal signs. I was surprised to find that children as old as six enjoy this very simple song as well. Visit any of the ASL websites to see animated demonstrations of animal signs. Or check out a book of simple signs from your local library. I suggest holding up a picture of each animal as well. You may want to sing this song year-round, or when studying groups of animals. For example, sing only about pets when learning about pets, zoo animals when learning about the zoo, etc.
