It's a lot easier and cheaper to throw some extra grain in on mash/brew day, bottle the starter and use the starter for your next brew. The critical thing is to make sure your sanitation is sound...

+1. A 5 gallon batch requires 53 12oz. bottles. That's a lot of bottling though I suspect if it gets you bonding time with your son you won't even notice the time or effort. :)
