About this song
A beloved action rhyme (known as 'Incy Wincy Spider' in the UK) sung across the US, UK, and Canada. The accompanying finger movements turn it into a hand-eye game, building fine-motor imitation and the joy of a repeated, predictable story.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Walk your fingers upward like a climbing spider.
- Wiggle fingers down for the rain, then make a sun shape.
- Pause and let your baby anticipate the spider climbing again.
Lyrics & Rhyme
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.
