If you get the Pimoroni Mood Light kit, do you still need soldering? I'm definitely not good at it...

Yup! The Pi needs the headers soldered and the Unicorn pHAT needs to be soldered.

I’m not good at it either!

Other option to avoid soldering - use a Pi 2/3/4 so the headers are already there, and use a Pimoroni Blinkt - shop.pimoroni.com/products/blinkt. No soldering required, and would just need a small change to the code to use it.
