A helpful way to teach the sign for “more” is to give them a little of their favorite food. When they are done the few pieces, say, “Do you want MORE” and do the sign for “more.” Then give them a little more of the food. Repeat this process many times. You can gently use hand over hand to help them do the sign for “more” before you give them the food as well.
Songs are wonderful for teaching gestures, imitation and language. Then end of the video shows many songs that are great for practicing gestures.

I do not use background music because, although it would be more entertaining, I believe it’s important for babies and toddlers to just hear the voice alone.
