Sign of the Week - FROG

The Sign of the Week is FROG. Place your fist under your chin and quickly flick out your first two fingers two times.

Here's a free poster from Baby Signs for you to download.This sign would go great with the story about The Big, Wide-Mouthed Frog, you know, the story where the wide-mouthed frog goes around asking different animals "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU EAT?" with an "OH, IS THAT SO." with a very big, wide mouth after they tell him. This goes on until he comes to an alligator that says he eats big, wide-mouthed frogs. Suddenly the frog says with a very, very tiny mouth, "Oh is that so." and hops off! I use this story in speech therapy to talk about opening your mouth and using your articulators when you talk. The kids love it!
