Sign of the Week - PEAS

Getting children to make healthy food choices can be a challenge especially when it comes to vegetables! Teaching them the signs for different vegetables can make it easier by allowing children to request the vegetables they like, make choices between different vegetables, and even talk about the foods they don't like! Remember that your regular grocery store shopping trip is a great time to teach food vocabulary!

This is how you sign PEAS: Tap index finger across the "peapod" index finger of other hand.

Sign of the Week - CHICKEN

It's spring again and a great time to introduce animal signs. Visiting local farms, petting zoos, and community fairs often bring opportunities to see baby animals. The sign for CHICKEN can be used to talk about live CHICKENS, CHICKENS in books, and even CHICKS on spring decorations.

This is how to sign CHICKEN - with index finger and thumb, make a beak and pretend to peck into the other hand.
