Which sign to use depends on the context. The "winding" sign is more general and can refer to playing with toys, playing music, or even playing around. The "sawing" sign is more specific to games or activities, like playing sports, playing cards, or playing a musical instrument.
Remember that sign language can vary depending on the region and individual signer. It's always best to learn from a qualified ASL instructor or native signer to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.
