New Guide: Unicorn Christmas Stocking with Lights & Sound

Check out this fun idea from Erin St. Blaine, just in time for the holidays: make a sparkly unicorn stocking that plays your child’s favorite Christmas song and lights up with rainbow lights. This seems like such a great way to gift-wrap a Circuit Playground Express and battery pack in a way that will show the recipient exactly how fun it can be.

From the guide:

Give the gift of curiosity this year with a Circuit Playground Express. The young imagineer in your home will be delighted to wake up on Christmas morning and find a brand new Christmas stocking that sings her favorite Christmas songs and lights up in her favorite colors.

This is a great project to do with kids, or to make on your own to surprise them Christmas morning. There is no sewing or soldering required, and the code is easy to create and customize using the MakeCode drag-and-drop code editor.

Add some batteries, and watch their eyes light up when they see what Santa brought.
