Five hairy spiders number rhyme

Hairy spider number rhyme

Five hairy spiders on an indoor web,
big fuzzy bodies swinging low on sticky threads.
Along came ....  (insert child's name)
with a pot and a slide
caught a hairy spider
and took it back outside


Hear the rhyme read aloud, add your child and children's names at the pause after 'along came ..




Depending how you'd like to use this resource please select the spiderweb images to match.

A plain web picture is provided alongside inside and outside page toppers to help visualise the two living ennvironments of the spiders in the rhyme. Print and cut out two copies of the spiderweb and attatch a topper image to each.

Print and trim a required number of spiders and adapt the rhyming number accordingly.
To roleplay catching a spider, print the paper pot images or use real pots and slides.

Have fun :)
