Teal Pumpkin Essentials for a Safe and Inclusive Halloween
As a food allergy mom, I know how challenging Halloween can be for kids with dietary restrictions. That’s why FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project is so important—it signals that non-food treats are available, creating a safer, more inclusive experience for everyone.
The concept is simple. Display a teal pumpkin. Offer non-food treats and if you’re offering candy, make sure it’s separate from the non-food treats.
Here are my top recommended Teal Pumpkin Halloween essentials:
