Better they play with these kinds of extremely low power breadboard electronics kits than make explosives, pyrotechnics, poison gas, high vacuum devices, nuclear particle accelerators, or launch model rockets, drones, or balloons into the flight path of commercial or other aircraft. Kids used to float hot air balloons with corner reflectors off the end of the Miramar Naval Air Base. They would crash to the ground whenever the air was roiled up by choppers sent to check out these slow moving targets. Remember when children's chemistry sets came with many caustic, poisonous, pyrotechnic, and radioactive materials? Warmest Regards, Sandy :)
Chemistry kits for kids now only contain baking soda and vinegar. I made gun powder and nitrocellulose as a kid. Chem set was taken away shortly after.

MSgt (Join to see) I had one of those Old Kits and surprise, surprise it has a bottle full of Mercury! Also had all the Fixins to Make Gunpowder and I think Nitro.

I remember playing with mercury as a kid. Just don’t eat it and wash your hand well before eating after you were done.
