My immediate plan is to poke a few strands of wire through the

unwinding.
Since its a toy it does not need to be totally foolproof.

If you are familiar with faston connectors, you can trim the
terminals with scissors or wire cutters so a connector will
slip on to them. The connectors are available in many sizes
with the 1/4" being the most common. I believe The Shack,
formally Radio Shack carries several sizes. Here's a link
to a manufacturer that produces many types so you can see
what I'm referring to:

Excuse me, but is the OP a Septic or English ?
If he/she/it is English, it's bugger all use pointing them at Septic
outlets, is it?
I'm sorry, I have absolutely no idea what you are writing
about. Could you find someone to translate it into American?
Septic tank = yank
duh - colonials
Um, the cultural education is nice but what's it got to do
with electrical connections to a battery holder? Bizarre is
fun but at least I try to keep my jokes within the subject
matter being discussed.
TDD
It was... Radio Shack used to have UK outlets (but seemed to have
vanished), but the link above was certainly for their US replacement...
Its a long way to go for a battery holder..
Yes. All the way to your mail box. Of course, that may require you
to get out of your chair and actually walk.
And pay three times the value in shipping and taxes

Many thanks to all. The push on brass connectors are a welcome solution,
many thanks. I can easily buy those at Maplins.
To throw a little light on this unnecessary rudeness to our American
cousins. The expression Amearkin came up because in the U.S. they could say
American so quickly it sounded like Amearkin. So across the pond they became
Amearkins...quite harmless.
However some low lifes changed this to Merkins. A few hundred years ago in
order to deal with body lice, ladies would shave their lower private parts.
Since this was deamed un-attractive, they could buy small triangular wigs
which were called...you guessed it Merkins. Please dont let the low-lifes
get you down, we have as many here as you have there. And they just love the
internet.
Teasing is part of the Usenet experience, if we didn't like you we
wouldn't even respond to you. You get a bunch of guys together and
they are going to throw jabs at each other and kid around. It's
basically what we call horseplay. It's like those celebrity roasts
that are shown on TV, some of the most horrible and vile insults
are thrown about by friends.
And if the 'friends' go too far, you throw them out! ;-)
Well no, they were known as Merkins long before the the term "amearkin"
You don't know much do you?
