Its okay, but there are better signing videos out there.
My daughter is a pretty average 16 month old, not advanced or delayed. We started trying to teach her some signs from about 6 months but she didn't really start signing much before 13 months and now she uses about 15 signs and signs something new every few days. I was really hoping that this video would hold my daughter's attention, but it doesn't. Instead, I would reccommend the "my baby can talk" seriesMy Baby Can Talk - First Signs They hold her attention all the way through and she is learning new signs directly from the DVD that I haven't tried to teach her yet.

Entertaining and fun for my Toddler
We bought this video 2 months ago when my son was 10 months old. After watching it for about a month he began to catch on to a lot of the signs. He started to do the sign for "All Done" and understands most the signs when we say them to him even though he can't do them back yet (though he tries to).
We also bought My baby's first signs video and it was just to much for him to take it. That video is more for older children. Baby einstein - my first signs is great for younger children because it has images that they can relate to like babies and music that they can enjoy. My son loves it and will sit there the entire time watching it. (actually he stands next to the tv so he can watch them up close)

The *best!*
I think this is the very best of the Baby Einstein videos. The entire thing is Marlee Matlin and babies signing and being positively adorable. The skits are nice and short and cuter than most. My baby adores it, plus hopefully she is learning a few signs! If you're only going to get one Baby Einstein.. get this one!

My daughters enjoy this
Both my daughters and I enjoy this. It is a good start to learning baby sign language. The show includes signs for mommy, daddy, baby, milk, blanket, and others. I only wish it also included brother, sister, grandma, and grandpa. Otherwise, it seems to engage young minds and allow them to practice signs right along with the show.

Not All it's Hyped up to Be
I'm not just one of the many Baby Einstein fanatics out there but since I was interested in baby sign language I bought it. It is really simple and easy to follow, even for babies. I don't think it could be done better. But my main problem with it is it's just too long, my son wouldn't sit for that long but it's worked for a few signs and I plan on using it for my 2nd son too. Overall it's okay but it wasn't like "wow this is the best thing ever" like all my mommy friends claimed.

Purchased and returned
It is my own fault for not doing the research ahead of time on this. I bought the item in the rush of being a new parent and should have stopped and thought about what I was doing. My clarity came while watching the video. Almost immediately I realized my mistake and knew that this is not what I wanted my child exposed to. The video was returned and I have since purchased the Garcia Baby Signs book and corresponding DVD for the parents, and am pleased with it.
For those of you who will immediately claim that I am so lunatic who is citing garbage research, please see a small sample of what I read below:
"The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended that children younger than 24 months of age not be exposed to television." From Anderson, Pempek. Television and Very Young Children. American Behavioral Scientist. 2005; 48: 505-522
Or you can check out one of the following:
Zimmerman, F. et al. Associations between Media Viewing and Language Development in Children Under Age 2 Years. The Journal of Pediatrics, Volume 151 , Issue 4 , Pages 364 - 368.
Kaplan, M. Educational Videos Drain Baby Brains. ScienceNOW, 7 August 2007.
Park, A. How Not to Raise a Genius. Time; 8/27/2007, Vol. 170 Issue 9, p46-46, 1/8p.
Cressey, D. Is baby DVD research Mickey Mouse science?. Nature [serial online]. August 23, 2007; 448(7156):848-849.
The science is in and it says that videos for kids under the age of two, which is just about every child that this sign language video is geared towards, are bad. So you may be helping them communicate earlier, but at the cost of their overall development.

Nice Video
My 6 month old will watch all 27 minutes of this video without moving! She loves the puppets, and toys. Side note, its much more cost effective to buy the baby einstein collection, then one video at a time!

13 month old twins
My twin boys love this video. James is learning fast and does the signs with the video. Jakub just loves to watch.

Wonderful!
My 2 and-a-half year old grandson hasn't watched Elmo ever since I got this DVD, along with several other Baby Einstien DVDs. He is energized, mesmerized and is talking, signing and singing now like never before. I thought that "First Signs" might be too young for him, but it's perfect. He also has "Baby Wordsworth" which teaches several signs, and together these DVDs have opened up a new way for him to communicate.

Beautifully made
