It’s a great way to learn Makaton with your little ones, developing their early language skills through songs, games and activities – its great fun and educational too! Gymboree is delighted to be the first commercial partner that The Makaton Charity have partnered with to deliver their Makaton Signing for Babies (MSB)Programme.
