something special / baby signing fans - can you tell me what this means?

[gigglinggoblin]

ds3 (14 months) has been doing a bit of baby signing and picks new signs up quite quickly. after watching an episode or two of something special (on his own ) he has come up with the sign for apple and one other which i dont know!

so what does it mean when he flaps one arm like a chicken wing?

obviously this might not be completely accurate but he is getting very annoyed with me and help would be appreciated. tia

ask in SN- lots of people use Makaton - or ask in one of the MVDP forum- plenty of tutors in there.

does it mean chicken?? and he's just doing 1 arm?

thanks jimjams, dont know why on earth i didnt think to look on the cbeebies site, just thought it would be impossible to google for so didnt!

good thought tracey but it seems to be food related and we are veggie!

Maybe a chicken carrying a carrot under 1 arm?

lol

I don't know when he started doing it? They did vehicles yesterday. train one was moving one arm by they side in a sort of circular motion. This could look quite chicken like

Could be biscuit - (my kids picked up that one very quickly - what a surprise) - it should be touching your hand to your opposite elbow (which dd does) but ds interprets it as flapping your elbow.

i suppose he could be doing chicken, but he seems to be doing it with a purpose. usually the purpose is to get food, i just wasnt sure what sort of food. biscuit is definitely possible, hadnt thought he might have adapted it the way he has. thanks bluebear, think you might be the winner!

could be signing train??? moving arm in small circle like a stem trains thingie goign round- could be flapping...?!
