Here's how I think that cylinder is supposed to work: when a person sticks their hand in it, its teeth clamp onto that person's wrist, leaving them shrieking and struggling to get free.  The more they struggle, the more the teeth dig in, while Lacey howls with laughter.  Finally, their mother shows up, confiscates the "fanged box," and lectures Lacey about dangerous toys for hours.  The lecture and the punishment would not be part of Lacey's entertainment plans, but they would inevitably follow her toy's success.
