Soap

Soap is signed by taking your non-dominant hand and holding it flat in front of you, with palm facing up. Then, hold your bent dominant hand above your palm and flick your fingers down a couple of times so they touch the palm of your non-dominant hand. This looks like you are building up a lather in your hand.

SIGN USAGE

Soap is a good intermediate sign that can be taught for use in the bath, or when toddlers are learning to wash their hands. Learning a sign like soap can help make these daily routines easier, because your child can work with you in getting the task done (lathering up with soap), instead of feeling helpless.
