Tips
- The Teal Pumpkin Project encourages households participating in trick-or-treating to offer non-food treats instead of candy and small baked goods to ensure safety for children with food allergies.
- Non-food treat examples include glow sticks, pencils, stickers, spider rings, googly eyes, and other small toys.
- Participating houses can signal that they offer non-food treats by displaying a teal pumpkin with other outdoor Halloween decorations outside their home.
- Place a bright teal pumpkin on your doorstep, either by buying one or covering a live pumpkin with teal paint.
- Ensure the pumpkin is displayed where it is prominent, unobstructed, and visible from the sidewalk.
