Every year, I try to come up with a unique idea for distributing the treats. Last year, it was a Plinko game. The year before- a spinning prize wheel. This year, I'd like to attach glow bracelets to my treat bags and have the kids hook their treats with a fishing rod. I'll probably have to Scotch tape the bracelet closures to keep them from coming apart.
The bags are 5" x 9" paper bags. I expect around 70-90 TOTs. I am going to have to make the fishing rod. I DO have an old fishing rod- but I think I'd have to shorten it... and it might still be too heavy for little ones. So I think it's just going to have to be a wooden or plastic pole.
Any suggestions for the hook? It has to be easy enough, large enough, and safe enough for little kids to manage. At the same time, it must be strong enough to survive the night- including that one kid that you KNOW thinks he has to cast!
