SIGN USAGE

Fly is a fun sign that we use in play. Use fly when you see and hear a jet whooshing past, or a bird soaring free if you are out in the park or countryside. You can also use it in conjunction with an airplane or helicopter toy, or a book that mentions such air transport. Baby boys especially like this sign because it is so animated, and the sign resembles the motion of the actual winged vehicle or bird.
