M to P Words – Baby Sign Language Dictionary

Hi there!

We love your site, the videos are extremely helpful (and they seem to be my little boy’s favorite TV show ;).

Would you mind adding pinwheel to the list? I usually use the ASL site if I cannot find something here, but they didn’t have it either, and I’m using a sign we’ve found on youtube instead. Not sure if it’s correct – finger pointing to an open palm (the palm with splayed fingers, turning back and forth)? My son finds it easy enough to make (he’s obsessed with pinwheels, so picked it up in no time), but I like knowing what the universal sign is.

Thank you!

ADMIN – Hi Cam,

I don’t think there is an official ASL sign for pinwheel, it is usually fingerspelled. What you are referring to sounds like a ‘homesign.’ If enough people like you start using it, the sign will eventually get incorporated into the official ASL lexicon.
