This song uses simple ASL signs. Many words have multiple signs, and since I wrote this for very young children, I’ve chosen the simplest ones. For example, there is a more common hand sign for the phrase “I love you,” but it requires more fine motor skills than using three separate signs for I (point to self), love (closed fists across chest), and “you” (point to another person). Watch the simple video below to learn the song.

It's a short sweet song children can sing to parents if you’re looking for a “performance” song. Happy Valentine’s Day!
 

HINT: When doing a finger play or ASL song with young children, sing slowly enough that they can keep up with you.

 

I Can Make A Heart With My Hands


I can make a heart with my hands. I can make a heart for you
I can make a heart with my hands and say
Happy Valentine’s Day to you

I can say love with my hands. I can say I love you
I can say love with my hands and say
Happy Valentine's Day to you
