Description

Our BSL family caterpillar sign demonstrates the British Sign Language signs for words that help describe family relationships. The colourful sign is illustrated with a friendly looking caterpillar that is especially suited to nursery and EYFS children, but is suitable for all primary years and beyond. It includes words such as “mother”, “father”, “brother”, “sister” and more.

This BSL sign includes a QR code which (when scanned with your phone, tablet or other device) links to a YouTube video that demonstrates the sign for each of the words in turn.

The illustrations have been created by our partner, and the leading BSL resource provider in the UK, LET’S SIGN. Working with LET’S SIGN ensures our BSL signs are as clear and accurate as possible.

The video demonstrations of each sign have been recorded especially for us by the Royal Association for Deaf People (RAD), and feature an experienced BSL Presenter.

Whole school involvement in sign language doesn’t just benefit deaf children – it is a valuable teaching strategy for children with a wide range of additional speech and language needs. Signing is also proving to be a valuable learning tool for children with no additional needs. Most importantly, it helps to ensure a fully inclusive environment.

The uniform colours in the illustrations can be customised to match the uniform colour worn at your school.

Made from 5mm thick foamex, a rigid plastic. Foamex is easily drilled with a drill driver, or we will pre-drill holes for fixing to your wall. Just choose the relevant option above.
