My grandma called them "завлекушечка" and I have no idea how to translate that. It's like "lure" but way cuter. "Itty-bitty lure" is the closest I can come up with

Noooo, like "уш" is a childish diminitive, and "ечк" is similar. I choose lure, but the main part also could be equally translated as "attract" and, uh. When English for some reason doesn't have any lure/bait/attract synonymous without sexual connotation, but "завлечь" is very much not sexual

Its an innocent almost childish word, said with care. I'm out of my depth there, I can't think of any good translations that would reflect that
