Action Rhyme: The Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.

We performed this action rhyme together along with a large spider puppet and accompanied by Hap Palmer's extended version on his Early Childhood Classics CD. Many fun and educational songs and rhymes can be found on the CD's in our collection. Check some out!
