ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Miss Spider’s Tea Party: The Counting Book Board Book – Children’s Story Read Aloud
Once upon a time, there was a friendly spider named Miss Spider. She wanted to have a tea party and play with her bug friends.
Let’s count the bugs with Miss Spider!
Miss Spider was all alone and wished for friends to play with.
Two little beetles saw Miss Spider and ran away quickly.
Three shiny fireflies saw her web and decided not to stay.
Four buzzing bees said, “We won’t come in.”
Five pretend bugs just stared and didn’t say a word.
Six tiny ants didn’t want to drink her tea.
Seven colorful butterflies hid and didn’t come out.
Miss Spider had eight yummy tea cakes, but nobody took a bite.
Nine spotted moths came by, but they got scared and flew away.
Miss Spider felt sad because all the bugs ran away. She looked at her ten cups and wished for friends.
But then, something wonderful happened! Miss Spider helped a little bug, and the next day, eleven bugs came to visit her.
They brought twelve beautiful flowers as a gift and said, “We heard you are kind. Let’s play together!”
