Five Little Spiders
Five little spiders crawling all around.
The first one said, “See the bug I found?”
The second one said, “My web is neat.”
The third one said, “I have eight feet.”
The fourth one said, “We’re all so small.”
The fifth one said, “Time for autumn leaves to fall.”
Then whoosh went the wind and out went the light
And the five little spiders crawled out of sight!
Crafts:
Egg Carton Spider
Cut apart egg carton cups and paint them black. Punch eight small holes to poke legs through. Let children push black or brown pipe cleaners through the holes to make legs. Glue wiggly eyes on. Punch two small holes in the top and string a piece of yarn through. Swing your spider around!
