Over at Music From Outer Space, Ray Wilson has a DIY (Do It Yourself) synthesizer project called the Wierd Sound Generator. For a few bucks, you can buy the components (locally) and put it together yourself. Half the fun is making the enclosure (left as an exercise for the reader).
There's a few good Youtube videos that demonstrate this thing. Check your brain at the door.
I plan to make up one of these as a project to do with my kids. I'll let you know how it goes.

Speaking of amusing synthesis gadgets this is one of the coolest things I've seen since synths built from commodore64 SID chips.
