You need to give them something more useful in this day and age.
In these days of war and terrorism you should be giving your kids some
weapons of war to take apart and assemble. Remember, once they turn
18 Bush will send them off to war to be killed, so its good that they
at least know how to make a bomb which could save their lives.
The next generation wont need plumbing or lawn mowers, they will only
need guns, bombs, and nuclear war heads to survive.
