To sign heavy, hold up both palms in front of you with the ASL number 5 hands. Then move them down a bit as you slouch your back and curl your shoulders forward at the same time, to emphasize the imaginary weight you are carrying.
Teach your toddler the heavy sign when you are describing something heavy that you or another person is carrying. If you and your baby are watching a cartoon or reading a story, and they see that the character is slouching due to the weight of their load, teach this sign.
This is a useful sign to teach along with other adjectives describing various characteristics of everyday objects.
