This is a piggy Bank that has glowing LED lights for eyes.
You can make your own piggy bank or buy a plastic one from the store. You can also use another type of animals like a penguin or duck (anything works). It take a little bit of electronic knowledge to make but is pretty simple.

The first thing that you do is create a frame from wire.
Next you put plaster clothes dipped in warm water over the frame and let each layer dry for about 10 minutes.
Once you have a sufficient amount you sand down the layers to make it as smooth as possible (note: it will never be totally smooth unless you take a really long time and prep the wire frame better).
Let it sit overnight to allow it to totally dry.

You should make it with red yes. That would look gnarly at night.
