To sign carrot, form your dominant hand into an 'S' shape (a closed fist) and bring it up near the side of your mouth. Make a short, downward snapping motion with your wrist twice, moving the fist slightly down and away from your mouth each time. The motion looks just like you are holding a large carrot and biting off the end of it.
