An electronic snow globe kit that combines a Circuit Playground Express with a clear, durable plastic globe. Programme light and sound effects using MakeCode's drag-and-drop block editor — no soldering or coding experience required. Fill the globe with water, glitter, and glycerine for a working snow globe with programmable LED effects inside.
The globe's rubber stopper is hollow with a ~60 mm diameter × ~13.5 mm deep cavity, sized to fit the Circuit Playground Express and a 500 mAh LiPo battery. The included Micro Lipo charger lets you recharge the battery via USB.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- LiPo
- A LiPo (lithium polymer) battery is a rechargeable lithium battery widely used in portable projects because it is light and compact. LiPo cells need correct charging circuitry and careful handling to stay safe, so equipment that supports LiPo generally includes charging or protection hardware suited to that battery type.
