Please stop unnecessarily "protecting" kids. How else will they learn?
A guy on another newsgroup has this sig. Try to grasp it.

Don't have the issue requested but do remember the bank. Reaction were
funny. Made one and a few of the "older kids" at work wanted their own. So
I built a few more.
Real easy to build. Four sides, mitered corners, which fit into routed
slots in top and bottom pieces. Inside just large enough to hold standard
size mouse trap. Three screws were then partially inserted into three of
the walls so that when trap goes off, bail wire strikes screws sending parts
all over. Cut slot in top piece in such a way that when coin drops, it hits
trap release (normally bait holder). Finish it anyway you want. Good use
for scraps.
WOULDN'T recommend this for kids as the trap has to be set and fingers could
be caught. Ouch, happened to me several times.
Have fun,
Jack

I have this issue and will be happy to make a copy and send to you. Need
an address.
Hi Dennis,
Sorry for the delay. A copy would be great. I am in Canada so I will
gladly return you the cost. I'll email my address assuming it's the one
on the group.
Thanks to all that responded as well.
Thanks Dave

Protecting children from folly and creating a "toy" that is almost
guaranteed to hurt them are two different things, IMHO. I would need
to know what age "kid" we were talking about.

I made an exploding outhouse using a mouse trap. Is this the type of
thing you're after?
