It’s a simple way to signify that you have non-candy or allergy-friendly items for kids that have food allergies. My husband and kids scoff at the idea, but those are the most popular items, especially with older kids!Īs I was gearing up to share some options you can include for non-candy treats I read this post on Scratch or Sniff’s site about the FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project. When it comes to giving out Halloween treats I like to mix in some non-candy and ‘healthier’ options like little packages of pretzels, glow sticks, or Halloween pencils. One neighbor hands out tennis balls, another gave out glowsticks to hang on their necks, and others include some non-candy items amongst the treats. I also love when they get non-candy treats. So we limit, we send some extras in to work with their Dad, I toss some things (Tootsie rolls you are the DEVIL), and they end up with a reasonable stash of candy that is doled out over time.

The Teal Pumpkin Project is designed to promote safety, inclusion and respect of individuals managing food allergies – and to keep Halloween a fun, positive experience for all. Halloween can be a tricky time – quite literally – for families managing food allergies because many traditional Halloween treats aren’t safe for children with life-threatening food allergies.
This campaign encourages people to raise awareness of food allergies by providing non-food treats for trick-or-treaters and painting a pumpkin teal – the color of food allergy awareness – to place in front of their house along with a free printable sign from FARE to indicate they have non-food treats available.
Have you heard of the Teal Pumpkin Project? It is an initiative promoted by FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education) to encourage communities to start a new tradition that will help make Halloween less scary for children with food allergies.
