Free fishing tip: Thread a worm — not the whole tub (step 5 of 10 from "Set Up a Bobber Rig for Kids").
Break a worm in half. Thread the hook once or twice through the body so the point is lightly exposed. A massive worm ball hides the hook and a small bluegill cannot eat it. Less is more.
Let the kid hold the worm container. If they want to bait their own, guide their fingers — pinch the worm, poke the hook through once. Messy is fine. Lost worms are cheap.
