Shooting sling for a kid?

I found a youth sized Marlin 15 Y single shot bolt .22 at the pawn shop the other day.
I'm a Grandpa kind of guy. The kids are involved in 4-H.
I'd like to set it up with something resembling the classic 1907 military sling.
At least a sling to learn to shoot with.

No,I can't answer the obvious measurement questions. Think 4th grade and a youth rifle,bigger than a Chipmunk but smaller than an M-1Carbine.

Does anyone make one for that market?
 
Thanks! Good idea. I checked it out.
They do offer web slings .Those work.
I'm looking for leather....But I'll keep it in mind as an option.
 
"...looking for leather..." I'd be making it, but I have all the tools and the leather. However, realistically, because people keep feeding 9 year olds, they grow like weeds. Any sling you buy now will need replacing in a year or less. However, leather can be more easily modified by poking more holes or cutting(too long is better than too short). Midway wants $22.99 for a repro 1" x 44" M1907 leather sling. Same one other places want $40 for. They have the swivel kits too. Lots of stock on a Marlin 15 Y to take the screws. Screws that can easily be cut as required anyway.
