October 14th: Spider Baby Time
It is Spider Time in Baby Time!
Here are the songs and rhymes we used:
Spider Songs and Rhymes:
Little Miss Muffet
Traditional Rhyme
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider and sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away
The Spider Spins a Web
Adapted from http://www.kidnkaboodle.net/fingerplay.html
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell
The spider spins a web,
The spider spins a web,
Round, round, up and down,
The spider spins a web.
Additional Verses:
She spins it side to side.
She spins it back and forth.
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
Traditional Rhyme
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
went up the spout again.
Five Little Spiders
Adapted by Miss Krissy
One little spider went out to play,
On a spider’s web one day.
He had such enormous fun,
He asked another little spider to come.
Two…Three… Four
Five little spiders went out to play,
On a spider’s web one day.
Time to go playtime is done
So they waved good-bye to everyone!
Spin Little Spider

Tune: Ten Little Indians
Spin, spin, little spider,
Spin, spin, wider, wider.
Spin, spin, little spider,
Early in the morning.
Dance dance
Jump jump
Tickle tickle
I Have a Little Spider
http://www.oakparkmomsandtots.ca/forum/index.php?topic=1969.0
I have a little spider
and I’m very fond of him,
He climbs on to my shoulder
And then up to my chin
He crawls down my arm
And then down my leg
Now he’s a tired little spider
So I put him into bed

Elevator Song
https://klmpeace.wordpress.com/rhymes-for-baby-and-toddler-storytimes/#59
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
