peashooter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'might get child puffing?' is the definition.
I know that 'child' relates to this answer.

'exercises with a small warning' is the wordplay.
'exercises' becomes 'pe' (Physical Education).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'warning' becomes 'hooter' (type of siren).
'pe'+'a'+'s'+'hooter'='PEASHOOTER'

'such as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peashooter that I've seen before include "Toy weapon" , "child's toy" , "Child's "gun"" , "Primitive weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
