The Teal Pumpkin Project was created to ensure that all children are included in Halloween traditions by promoting safety, inclusion and respect for individuals managing food allergies. This worldwide movement offers an alternative for kids with food allergies, as well as for other children for whom candy is not an option. It keeps Halloween a fun, positive experience for all!

Halloween can be a tricky time for families managing food allergies. Many Halloween candies contain common allergens and are off limits to some. Additionally, many miniature or fun-size versions of candy items contain different ingredients than their full-size counterparts, and some miniature candies may not have labels either. All of this makes it difficult for parents to determine if the treats are safe for their kids.

Participation in The Teal Pumpkin Project is as simple as displaying a teal pumpkin at your home or place of business to alert trick-or-treaters that you have non-food treats for them. You can paint a pumpkin teal-colored OR print a sign online to post on your door. Many stores carry teal-colored pumpkin decorations as well.

These small, inexpensive items can be glowsticks, small toys, small craft items, and similar. Craft and dollar stores can be a gold mine of potential goodies. Here are some to look for:

glow sticks
bubble sticks
wristbands
pencils
erasers
lip balm
pens
sticker booklets
super balls
fidget spinners
crayons
mini bath bombs
yo-yos
key chains
playing cards
pencil toppers
mini notepads

Pick up some non-food items wherever you pick up your treat or treat candies!
