"Itsy Bitsy Spider" is a popular children's nursery rhyme that tells the story of a small spider who climbs up a waterspout. As the spider ascends, rain begins to fall, washing it down. The rhyme is often accompanied by hand motions that mimic the actions of the spider climbing and falling. The song is frequently used in early childhood education to teach concepts like perseverance and resilience. It is also a common choice for sing-alongs and storytime activities, helping to engage young children through rhythm and movement. The character of the spider is often depicted in various children's books and animated shows.
