Workshops from birth!
Babies start making their first gestures (waving bye-bye, clapping, etc.) from a very young age. By developing this natural ability, babies will be able to express themselves sooner, reducing frustration, crying, and tantrums. Using small signs borrowed from French Sign Language, this simple and fun language will allow you to better understand your baby's desires, needs, and emotions, to stimulate their learning system, and to accompany the emergence of speech. These small gestures – very easy to reproduce – accompanied by speech through nursery rhymes, finger games, etc., will be shared in a caring family workshop.
>> The Discovery Workshop will playfully introduce you to the first 20 signs of your baby's daily life. A memo poster will be provided at the end of the workshop.
>> The Gestural Nursery Rhyme Workshops are intended only for families who have already participated in a Discovery Workshop and who wish to enrich their vocabulary of signs and their repertoire of nursery rhymes, gestural ballads, etc.
Brothers, sisters, and grandparents are also welcome!
Our take on this event
Silence doesn't have to mean confusion when your little one is trying to tell you something. Discover the art of baby sign language to bridge the gap before speech fully arrives, reducing frustration and building a deeper emotional bond. It is a playful and intuitive way to transform every daily interaction into a moment of pure connection.
The Atelier 77 hosts a playful workshop dedicated to baby sign language for children up to 3 years old and their parents. During this one-hour session, you will learn to combine gestures with speech to better understand your baby's needs and emotions, helping to reduce early-stage frustrations. This practice is open to all family members, including siblings and grandparents. The next session takes place on Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 16:30 to 17:30. Participants will receive a handy memo poster at the end of the workshop to help practice these new skills at home.
Located at 77 rue de Charonne in the 11th arrondissement, the Atelier 77 provides a supportive environment where families learn to communicate using simple gestures borrowed from French Sign Language. Through nursery rhymes and finger games, you will discover how to stimulate your child's learning and anticipate their needs. The Discovery Workshop focuses on the 20 primary signs for daily life. Families who have already completed the discovery session are encouraged to join the Gestural Rhymes workshops to further expand their vocabulary.
The cost is 25:00 for one adult and one child. Additional guests are welcome at 10:00 for each extra child and 15:00 for each extra adult. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual session is available at 25:00 per connection. This experience is designed to be inclusive, welcoming parents, children, and extended family members to learn these easy-to-reproduce signs together in a friendly atmosphere.
