According to Google they are carnivorous and should eat insects like crickets and mealworms.

They are wild animals and should not be kept as pets. Most will be unhappy in captivity. They are extremely sensitive and will even stop eating for months at a time.

I'm sorry to disappoint your kids!

The salamanders hibernate in burrows or crevices underground during winter. Spotted salamanders feed on worms, slugs, snails, spiders, millipedes, crickets, beetles, ants, and other invertebrates. In turn, they are food for some snakes, birds, fish, and mammals.

I just found this

Salamanders make great pets. They're ideal for apartment residents because they're quiet. They don't take up a lot of room because they're small. They don't need a background to run around like a dog.

By the way if you are going to buy a reptile from a store. You should also continue to buy food from the store and not necessarily just try to catch bugs from your backyard.
