You pick a stick up off the ground. Do not cut a stick from a live tree.

Which, as PP noted, are not the best choice if your kid is going to be holding one end while the other is in the fire.

You soak them in water first.

She's talking about the METAL ones, Rose! The metal ones!

Target, Walmart, Dick's sporting goods. They will be in the camping section. Bamboo skewers won't work that well. They are too short and if your kids are roasting the marshmallows, they will need to be too close to the fire.

Shhhhhhh dear, one must not interfere with natural selection

Who ever heard of sticks in a field? I have only ever seen and heard of sticks in stores.

If your in Maryland. Just saw them at Harris Teeter in Rockville. They're in the back with the outdoor/grilling stuff. Next to the elevators.

I swear giant in Arlington on wash Blvd has them ( or did for awhile). I bet a hardware store has something you can use.

I totally get buying them if you are not going to be near trees. It is hard carry a bunch of tree sticks and not poke yourself relentlessly.

Hahaha. Best f#@king thread of the day! If you find some I will buy them for you op.
