Have you heard about the Teal Pumpkin Project movement? We are excited to participate this Halloween, helping to raise awareness of food allergies and promoting inclusion of all trick-or-treaters throughout the Halloween season. --- About the Teal Pumpkin Project --- Every child should be able to experience the joy and tradition of trick-or-treating on Halloween. But kids with food allergies are often left out of the fun, since most candy is off limits. FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project helps make sure all children will come home on Halloween night with something they can enjoy. It just takes one simple act: offering non-food treats, such as glow sticks or small toys, as an alternative to candy. Last year, households from all 50 states and 14 countries participated. This is a worldwide movement to create a safer, happier Halloween for all trick-or-treaters. --- How to Take Part --- 1) Provide non-food treats for trick-or-treaters. We are handing out Halloween themed rubber duckies and other small toys from Oriental Trading. 2) Place a teal pumpkin in front of your home. This indicates to passersby that you have non-food treats available. You can paint a teal pumpkin, or we opted to order this teal foam pumpkin from Oriental Trading. 3) Display a sign to explain the meaning of your teal pumpkin. FARE’s website has a variety of free printable signs, bag flyers, and more to help spread the word. Oriental Trading also has this cute lawn sign: Teal Pumpkin Project Information & Product Links Teal Pumpkin Project http://www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project#.V_BMT8Q8KnM Teal Pumpkin Project Downlaods http://www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project/download#.V_BMf8Q8KnM Lawn sign http://m.orientaltrading.com/teal-pumpkin-yard-sign-a2-13743366.fltr?Ntt=teal Foam pumpkin http://m.orientaltrading.com/foam-teal-pumpkin-a2-13743368.fltr?Ntt=teal Rubber Duckies http://m.orientaltrading.com/halloween-rubber-ducky-assortment-a2-13707505.fltr?prodCatId=550222 Halloween Novelty Toy Assortment http://m.orientaltrading.com/halloween-novelty-assortment-a2-5_877.fltr?prodCatId=550203%201237 --- ABOUT FARE --- Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) works on behalf of the 15 million Americans with food allergies, including all those at risk for life-threatening anaphylaxis.
