The Itsy-Bitsy Spider nursery rhyme has a fun fingerplay for small children. The fingerplay 1) improves children’s motor skills, and 2) makes a connection between the words and their meaning.
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout.
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
“Itsy-bitsy” is another way to say “teeny-weeny”, as in tiny. Kids often say “itsy-bitsy” or “teeny-weeny”. Sometimes adults say “itsy-bitsy” and “teeny-weeny” too, usually making a small gesture between their thumb and index finger.
“I’m on a diet. I’ll have an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny piece of birthday cake.”
