The Circuit Playground Express is a holiday swiss army knife. From twinkling trees to robotic turkeys you’ll be ready with easy to do decor. But we think it really glows at Halloween!

Like this project from Kathy Ceceri making a simple but impressive glowing hand!

This version is quick to make and easy enough for kids to do themselves (or with a little adult help). The hand itself is made completely of masking tape. Inside is a circuit made with peel-and-stick fabric conductive tape. The lights in the fingers are Adafruit LED Sequins, but you could even use ordinary LEDs. And the palm lights and the coding are all done in simple to use, block-based Microsoft MakeCode on the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express (CPX for short).
