Hi all 😊 In this version of the classic Eency Weency Spider song we use a combination of singing and fingerplay to help children learn this song. At the beginning of the song we slowly talk and show placement of hands and fingers once before singing the song. This allows children (and parents) to clearly hear, see and understand the words and actions of the song. It's also good for the little ones to practice making their spiders! We hope you enjoy the song. 🎶 Song Lyrics 🎶 The eency weency 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 Then the eency weency spider climbed up the spout again. Repeat 🎶
