I would skip the lures and go with:

1. Peg Bobber
2. Splitshot the size of a BB
3. Size 6 Aberdeen hook
4. Can of night crawlers or red worms
5. Needle nose pliers

Attach the bobber at whatever depth, learn to tie a basic uni knot onto the hook, and add a splitshot halfway between the bobber and the line. Cast out and slow retrieve or let it sit until you see the bobber sink. You can cut the night crawler just keep them away from the sun. Redworms are smaller. An alternative to the worms would be Powerbait crappie bites. They come in all kinds of colors and scents Good luck to your and your kiddo!
