Another trick for kids is to give them a yo-yo with a flexible fiberglass tape instead of steel.  My wife carries one in her purse.  It's the kind she uses for sewing.  The kids don't seem to care that they always need two hands to use it.  They are used to seeing Gramma use it to measure furniture or items in the hardware store.
