Teal Pumpkin Project

Have you heard of the Teal Pumpkin Project?  Ever since my daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease, we've been excited about this.  My daughter cannot eat many of the typical Halloween treats she receives from Trick-or-Treating.  There are many kids with allergies that put them in the same predicament.  There are also children who are unable to consume anything by mouth.  So, the Teal Pumpkin Project is a movement where non-food treats are made available for those children who cannot have the typical treats.

This year, my house will have a Teal Pumpkin by the door with a sign saying that we have non-food treats along with the typical treats.  It doesn't take a lot of effort and makes a big difference.  Learn more about the Teal Pumpkin Project along with non-food treat ideas here.
