I have tried to find a cdrom with the makaton symbols on so that i can use it to put on all my boxes along with the picture of the content and the word - but i didnt realise how much they were?! i have a makaton booklet with how to sign words in makaton, but really wanted the symbols to print off to make my resources labels more inclusive. does anyone know how i can go about this?! i cannot afford £70 odd (makaton website) - especially as i dont need all the levels - just for things like jigsaws, toy cars, books, drink, etc .

my booklet is how to sign the signs not the actual symbols - used as TEACH in schools/day centres - i used them when i worked with adults with LD

Do you have any baby signing books (this is makaton too) ....so could use those - perhaps borrow from the library to scan?

Well if you get some - don't forget to share!;) :D

I'm trying to scan one of my books - probably not all the signs you need, but may be a start - though if you could get the proper makaton signs think may be better!

Have you looked on here ?

Not had chance to have a proper look but you may find something.
