Need some help with Blue Gills

[Fishnngolfn]

When I take my daughter fishing, I normally set her up with a hook and bobber with a live cricket on the hook. She can't put the crickets on herself and live crickets come off the hook way to easily on missed strikes or repeated bumps by smaller Gills. Are there any inexpensive plastic baits that I can put on the hook that do not require my daughter to "work" the bait? She just wants to sit there and wait for the bobber to go under before she starts to reel it in. I am looking for something that she can do 95% of the time by herself so I can actually fish as well.
