How to make American Sign Language sign for I-Love-You!
Have fun and make a nice I LOVE YOU sign to dad, mom, grandparents or a favorite auntie.
Materials:
-Construction Paper
-Scissors
-Pencil
-Popsicle sticks
-Markers
-Stickers/ cut out hearts
Instructions:
Trace your child’s hand on the construction paper or foam. (Cutting the hand out is too detailed for many preschoolers to do on their own, so let them ‘cut’ one hand while you are cutting the other). When the paper hands are cut out, help them to fold down the two middle fingers.
Glue the fingers down to the palm of the hand.
Glue the entire hand cutout to a Popsicle stick (or even a plastic spoon).
Write your child’s name or the person’s you are giving the I Love You sign to (grandma, grandpa, auntie, daddy…)
Let the creative fun begin – provide glitter, buttons, stamps, stickers, and other decorations. Encourage your little one to use his or her imagination and decorate the heart in whatever way that they would like to!
