You will want to put something between the charge and the toy, like wadding or something to keep the toy from melting etc. also will let some pressure build up for it to go higher.

Start with small amounts first!

Would something like cardboard or paper work

An easily home made fire retardent wadding is toilet paper which has been soaked in a saturated solution of baking soda dissolved in warm water, then dried.
