Hand guestures for both the rhymes – Where is Thumbkin? and Itsy Bitsy Spider:
Generally, two different rhymes are in different posts on this blog. However, this post is an exception. I wanted to post only itsy bitsy spider. But then, could not find a hand gestures video (the way I do it) – which has only this rhyme. It was clubbed with Where is Thumbkin?. So, here go both the rhymes:

Now, the lyrics for the more popular Itsy bitsy spider:
Itsy bitsy spider, went up the water sprout
Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain
And itsy bitsy spider went up the sprout again.
