About the Challenge
This holiday season, the Learning Pods Foundation invites families across Canada to take part in the Small Hands Big Hearts Holiday Challenge — a fun and meaningful way to get outside, give back, and create lasting memories.
From December 22 to January 2, families complete a series of age-appropriate kindness activities laid out on scavenger hunt cards. These acts are designed to be free, fun, and impactful — from shoveling a neighbor’s walkway, to writing thank-you notes for community helpers, to creating art for seniors.
