Paper circuits are a fantastic way to  teach the basics and fundamentals of creating an electric circuit without the need to solder or code a single thing!
If you are unfamiliar, a paper circuit is a functioning electronic circuit built on a paper surface instead of a PCB. Projects can range from greeting cards, to origami, to traditional art such as paintings or drawings. What makes them unique is the use of traditional fine art techniques to create a circuit that is combines aesthetics and functionality. Paper circuits are becoming more and more popular in the hobby electronics world. The easy availability of craft-like materials and increasing abundance of new products has created a really unique ecosystem for crafters looking to make the leap to electronics projects.
The ACCC has come out with guidelines for using coin cell batteries and now have essential requirements for using Coin Cells in goods that will be used by children.
(I) be designed and manufactured such that the batteries are not accessible to young children when the device or the packaging of any replacement batteries provided is subjected to normal use or reasonably foreseeable misuse,
(II) (a) have a battery compartment (or other enclosure) that is secured (preferably with a captive screw, a bolt or mechanism) such that it requires a tool to gain access to the batteries, 
With this in mind we have come up with the Screw Closed Battery Pack for a CR2032 that has a enclosure for the coin cell battery and a breakout board that you can apply copper tape directly to.

Additional Information
Warning: Button Cell Batteries are Hazardous (new or used). Keep away from Children.
Button Cell Batteries can cause severe or fatal injuries in 2 hours or less if they are swallowed or placed inside any part of the body. If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button cell battery, call the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre in Australia on 131126 or in New Zealand on 0800 764 766 or contact your country's emergency department.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

breakout
A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
PCB
A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
