Object:
A toy spider.
The spider I have brought for the children's sermon is actually a cat toy -- eight bright red pipe cleaner legs, a black "body" of fake fur, and two little plastic eyes. As spiders go, it is very nonthreatening.
Kneeling in front of the assembled children, I plop the spider down on the floor between us and ask, "What is this thing?"
"A spider!" most of them answer.
"What kind of a spider might it be?" I continue.
"A tarantula!" two of the boys assure me. Certainly it is about the size of a tarantula.
