This is a beautiful song with wonderful violin improvisations. It’s designed to get children to stop and think about something they rarely pay attention to, namely a spider’s web. This song helps children find wonder and awe in the simplest little things. It gives a parent or teacher the opportunity to talk with a child about several key messages of optimism. First is the value of persistence, of staying with a task until it is complete. The second is that like the spider, children too have masterpieces inside that we can create in the world. The concept that internal ideas can be realized with concentration and effort is key to mastery motivation.

Spinning
by Mary Hulefeld and David Kisor

Patiently spinning, you move in mid air
Skillfully weaving your silvery strands
With great care

Back and forth, up and down, every end a beginning
Eight little spider legs dancing, spinning

Patiently spinning, see how your web grows
Wish I knew all of the magical things
That you know

Back and forth, up and down, every end a beginning
Eight little spider legs dancing, spinning

Wish I knew all the magic in you

Patiently spinning, your work is complete
Silvery, beautiful, magical strands
Your masterpiece

Now I know what you want me to see
My own beautiful masterpiece spinning inside of me

Back and forth, up and down, every end a beginning
I go dreaming, doing, dancing
Spinning
