The holiday season is finally here! It’s the perfect time to celebrate and get creative, and whether you’re looking for fun classroom projects, or for ideas to beat the winter break blues, we’ve got you covered! From creative crafts and activities, to fun and educational learning prompts, there’s so much winter holiday fun to be had! Read on to discover 31 ways you can #BunceeYourHolidays!
We’re so excited to be continuing the Holiday Hugs initiative again this year! Students and educators from across the globe can create a Buncee filled with holiday cheer for a child who is spending the holidays in a hospital. Then, students can add their Holiday Hug Buncee to our Holiday Hugs Board.
The Board will then be shared with children in the Children’s Minnesota hospital system! Plus, for every five Buncees added to the Board, Capstone pledges to donate one book to Children’s Minnesota, for up to five hundred books! You can learn more about this wonderful initiative here, and you can add your Holiday Hug Buncee to the Holiday Hugs Buncee Board here.

During the holiday season, it can be easy to get caught up in the materialistic hustle and bustle of the season. It can be a good idea to take a moment and think about the things that are really important, and to curate a more “grown-up” holiday wish list.
