This Halloween, mix plenty of teal decor in with the black and orange! Teal is the official color of food allergy and the signature hue of the annual Teal Pumpkin Project. The project promotes the use of ghoulishly great treats that are free of food – and therefore allergens.
Setting out teal-colored pumpkins and signage signals to food-allergic families that you’re participating in the project, led by the nonprofit FARE.
Want to take part in all the inclusion, but unsure where to start? Allergic Living’s Halloween Food-Free Treats & Decor Guide offers plenty of ideas. First, flaunt your allergy-friendly ways by trimming the house and yard with as much teal decor as you can.
Then, see our list of creative non-food gifts that are bound to make costumed kids shriek with joy.
This October 31, keep the frights out of the treat bowl. Welcome everyone to your door with the safest non-food goodies and trinkets, and the coolest decorations on the block.
