When you think of Halloween, you think of scary movies, an autumn chill in the air, and, of course, candy! Trick-or-treating is every kid’s favorite part of Halloween!
Trick-or-treating has been a traditional part of Halloween festivities for a long time, but in recent years it’s gotten more complicated. The world is not as innocent as it was once, so parents are advised to accompany kids. Additionally, a lot of kids have food allergies that weren’t as common once as they are now.
For those kids, trick-or-treating can present a unique challenge. They could participate in the trick-or-treating and show off their costumes, but they couldn’t eat most of the candy they collected. That’s no fun at all!
Approximately one in 13 children under 18 affected. Just imagine being a kid with food allergies – watching all your friends collect and devour bucketfuls of candy while you have to give most of yours away. Thanks to the Teal Pumpkin Project, however, trick-or-treating can be fun for everyone!
Here’s how it works: All you’ve got to do is put a teal pumpkin outside your house to indicate to trick-or-treaters and their parents that you are ready and willing to provide non-food items like stickers, glow sticks, and various other trinkets that won’t trigger food allergies. This way, Halloween can be fun for all.
