Itsy Bitsy Spider — Lyrics

The itsy bitsy spider climbed 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.

Sing it together

Nursery rhymes are one of the earliest and best ways to build language. Their rhythm and rhyme help babies and toddlers hear the sounds inside words — the very skill (phonological awareness) that later powers reading. Sing Itsy Bitsy Spider at bath time, in the car, or before bed, and let your child fill in the last word of each line.
