How about a home DNA fingerprinting kit? (http://www.popsci.com/popsci/bown/2003/article/0,18881,537113,00.html) Now that is a good way to get kids asking awkward questions of their parents...
Fortunately, that kit only seems to let kids extract DNA from things, not actually analyse and compare it.
Give it another ten years, though, and Casio will make a wristwatch that tells you who a DNA sample belongs to by looking it up on the Internet wirelessly while you wait.
