After a spider is caught, the child may toss it to the spider web;

Mousetrap Finishing 
How it Works::
 
Put some mousetraps on the floor (new, clean ones, please) and give player a fishing pole with a stuffed mouse on it... or a witch, or anything, really... they try to fling the mouse out and catch a trap... if they're really good they can get more than one. Tell them stand about 6 feet away from the nearest trap; Submitted by Lib.
