If it's summer, a shovel can't be too far away. Whether digging in the garden or playing in the sand, this tool is practical for so many reasons, making it an excellent sign to teach.

SHOVEL
Use this sign before you pick up your shovel and when your little one is playing with their toy shovel.
How to make the sign: Both hands mime holding a shovel, making sharp short movements forward and then turning back toward your shoulder.
Tip: this one's easy; you're miming holding a shovel!
