Buy some hand foot warmers
The one time use kind
As long as the tipups are spread out and you have fish they’ll keep warm running
Jigging in a shanty is usually plenty warm

Make sure the feet are warm and dry - nothing will get a kid miserable like a slow day on the ice with cold / wet feet.
Nothing will get you in trouble with the bride faster, too

Thats the key right there, taking care of the feet. No cotton socks, wool or wool/poly blends only. As PeteF mentions, feet warmers as well, I use the toe warmers and they work well.
A nice poly base layer, like an Under Armor, will help keep them warm too. |

thanks TDF and John R -
the guide also said to pay attention to hands and feet. will do.
tdf you have given me some good advice in ice fishing over the years. if this trip goes well ( guide seems very nice and kid friendly), I’d like to take my 9 year-olds cub scout den. seems like such a great way to get kids outside in the winter. i can not wait.
i will be heading to cabelas this week to get ice grippers for their boots, as well as hand and foot warmers, and probably better socks.
