Eensy Weensy Spider

October 31, 2009 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

The Eensy Weensy Spider

The eensy weensy spider crawled up the water spout
{Walk fingers up your little one’s arm}
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
{Fingers wiggle down from above and then spread hands apart from center}
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
{Make a circle with arms overhead to represent the sun}
Then the eensy weensy spider climbed up the spout again
{Climb fingers back up your little one’s arm}

This song is also known as the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Incy Wincy Spider, Ipsy Wipsy Spider.
For newborns or infants, lay them in your lap and do the actions for them to see. You can hold their arms for the rain and sun.
For toddlers and preschoolers, they can use their own fingers to climb the spider and do the other actions themselves.
