A couple of months ago I bought a lighter at Walmart. I don't remember the brand now, but it was at the checkout line. Basically a disposable butane lighter without the typical wheel and small button hold down. Instead, you grip the lighter in your fist and just kind of push your thumb up. The side of the lighter slides up 1/4", clicks, and you've got a flame. It's gross motor skills, so you can do it with cold hands or with gloves on. No fiddling with the little button and cold fingers.

I've been using it for awhile now and I really like it. If you want a lighter for a youngster, it's very easy for them to use it also. For about a dollar and the ease of use, it's a winner.
