Taran Tarantula
"Taran Tarantula is a sweet and cuddley tarantula that is absolutely adorable. Whether you choose to gift him to a child for play or use him as a Halloween decor, Taran is fun to make and great to have around. He is a big hit with children, being the perfect size to sit on their head, shoulder or even to potentially spook an unsuspecting friend ;-).
