She forbids him to make anything explosive, though (mostly because his failed experiments cause enough explosions). The same goes for Rapunzel and her hundreds of hobbies, as most of them are either productive (i.e. cooking and candle-making) or keep her busy (i.e. painting). That said, she still heavily restricts what the kids can and can't have, as Rapunzel hides Pascal's existence from her just like in canon.
