To sign 'bubble', start with both hands in front of your chest, fingers and thumbs pinched together in flattened 'O' shapes. Move your hands outward and apart while opening them into curved 'C' shapes, as if tracing the round outline of a growing bubble. You can repeat this expanding motion to represent multiple bubbles.
Sign 'baby', 'love', 'play', and then use the 'bubble' sign, repeating the motion a few times to show there are many bubbles.
After signing 'gum', use the 'bubble' sign but make the movement much larger and exaggerate your facial expression to show the impressive size.
Sign 'soap', 'make', 'many', and then sign 'bubble' repeatedly while moving your hands around slightly to show bubbles everywhere.

To show a single bubble, perform the expanding motion just once. To show many bubbles, repeat the motion a few times, moving your hands to slightly different locations in the space in front of you.
Yes! You can use a similar expanding motion, but you should place the sign higher up, near your head or mouth, to indicate exactly where the speech or thought bubble is located.
Absolutely! ASL uses physical space to demonstrate size. A small, tight hand movement indicates a tiny bubble, while a large, exaggerated movement shows a giant bubble.
