SIGN USAGE

Spider is a useful sign for intermediate signer. Start by teaching babies the general sign (bug), then move on to the more specific signs like spider, bee, and ant. Moving from general to specific - as your baby gets more advanced with her signing and starts to be able to distinguish the differences between bugs - helps your baby develop her vocabulary and keeps signing challenging.
