## Description

Light up the winter nights this year with an electronic Snow Globe! This kit provides everything you need to make your very own, **no soldering required!** You can use MakeCode to program various light and sound effects into the Circuit Playground Express. MakeCode uses easy-to-understand drag and drop programming blocks, so even if you've never programmed before, you'll be rockin' like the Rockettes.

[Check out the many electronic snow globe guides Adafruit have for you to follow](https://learn.adafruit.com/search?q=snow%20globe&)!

The custom plastic 'snow globe' container is durable, clear, and round, with a large flat screw-on top and a press-fit rubber stopper. The stopper makes a nice seal, and is also *hollow* which means you can put (you guessed it...) electronics inside! This makes it perfect for your own electronic-powered snow globe.

The stopper inner diameter is **~60mm** diameter and **~13.5mm** deep, which means it has *tons* of room for goodies. they picked this size because it fits a [Circuit Playground Express](https://core-electronics.com.au/circuit-playground-express-developer-edition.html) with a [500 mAh lipo battery perfectly](https://core-electronics.com.au/lithium-ion-polymer-battery-3-7v-500mah.html).

**This kit contains:**

- 1 x [DIY Snow Globe](https://core-electronics.com.au/diy-snow-globe-kit-108mm-diameter.html)
- 1 x [Circuit Playground Express](https://core-electronics.com.au/circuit-playground-express-developer-edition.html)
- 1 x [Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7V 500mAh](https://core-electronics.com.au/lithium-ion-polymer-battery-3-7v-500mah.html)
- 1 x [Adafruit Micro Lipo - USB LiIon/LiPoly Charger](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-micro-lipo-usb-liion-lipoly-charger-v1.html)

To program with MakeCode you'll need a Mac, Windows, ChromeOS or Linux computer. A standard micro-B USB data-sync cable is required to program it as well. You'll need water, glitter or some other snow-like materials, glycerine (to slow the water down), something cool to show off inside, and E6000 glue to make the stopper seal permanent. **Those items are not included, but you can purchase them at your friendly local art supply, crafting or hardware store.**
