The Teal Pumpkin Project

Printable Teal Pumpkin Sign

Many popular Halloween candies contain nuts, milk, egg, soy or wheat, which are some of the most common allergens in children and adults. Many miniature or fun-size candy items contain different ingredients than the full-size version and some miniature candy may not have labels, so it is difficult for parents to determine whether these items are safe for their child with food allergies. Non-food treats provide a safe, fun alternative for kids (and adults!) with food allergies.

Here are some ideas of what to offer instead of candy*:

• Halloween toys or rings

• Glow Sticks

• Gel Pens

• Squishies

• Balls

• Coloring Books

• Puzzles

• Stickers

• PlayDough

• Pencils and Stamps

• Punching Balloons

• Avoid items that have scents, as many people with food allergies also have sensitivities to scents.

My Etsy shop has a ready made printable sign as well as favor bag tags that you can print to let people know you have non candy treats available.
