Light-Up Snow Globe

A plastic, enlarged version of a typical snow globe, with a turn-crank for interaction. It is meant for kids ages 4+. Kids can wind the crank to power a light, make parts inside move around (e.g. plastic snowflakes 'swirling'), and play music. The crank would be connected to a wind-up music box, so that, the faster they turn the handle, the faster the music will play, (along with the lights getting brighter). The platform for the globe could be clear, so that kids can see the gears inside and learn from the connection of their turning the crank to the light and music appearing. They would learn about the concept of mechanical and electrical energy.
