These lessons are full of treats for all ages

Or let the AI put a Halloween twist on your lesson 🪄

A bright cartoon illustration shows a smiling woman with short brown hair and rectangular glasses standing beside a large Halloween candy bowl overflowing with colourful sweets. Some of the candies are labelled “Creativity,” “Engagement,” and “Curiosity.” She’s holding a tablet that displays the Curipod logo. Behind her is a friendly Halloween scene with a purple haunted house, glowing pumpkins, and bats flying across an orange sky. The overall feel is cheerful, fun, and classroom-friendly, matching the theme of Halloween-themed Curipod lessons.
