Get a Very Large Box and put the litter (in its container) inside on the
bottom.  Cut off the top, if any, so you can reach inside to "take care
of business" (change the litter).  Cut a cat-sized (small) hole in the
box somewhere to serve as a door.

The cat will soon figure it out (it has lots of motivation), but the kid
won't be interested.  It worked for us.  It also helps contain the mess,
except that our cats like to jump in and out of the box (40" high)
instead of using the door.  Oh well.
