I remember having a little electronics kit as a kid that had a load of similar things and a board and crocodile clips to make it all work, was pretty fun. Depending on son's age could you get something similar and make it fun and young kid proof then let him pay around with the workings once he's older and inevitably breaks it.

Needs fart noises, obviously.

Add a vibration motor (as used in mobile phones) to give some movement to go with the sound and lights?
Also look at the voltage requirements, balanced against the cost of replacement batteries! -
Get him a couple of three plate light fittings some 2 way switches and 4 core and get him to wire a hallway light setup!

I want to make my son a box with switches and lights on it, as well as other stuff that happens when he does the switches or presses buttons.
So far, I was thinking lights and a buzzer, any other ideas?
Do I just buy a 12v battery and connect it all in parallel (switches and buttons in series with their respective accessories of course)?
Where is the best place to source this stuff from. I'm an electrician, but remarkably uninformed about electronics.
