Let’s talk about Trick-or-treat

FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project is a worldwide movement to create a safer, happier Halloween for all kids

It’s a movement to raise awareness of food allergies and to create a safer, more inclusive Halloween for all trick-or-treaters. Putting a teal pumpkin on your doorstep will let trick-or-treaters know that your house is food allergy-friendly. This can mean that you offer non-food treats or trinkets, such as glow sticks or small toys, and/or that you have allergy-friendly candy which is free of the top 9 allergens (including sesame). This simple act allows kids to enjoy the same allergy-friendly trinkets or treats whether they have food allergies or not. 

  • Provide non-food treats and/or allergy-friendly candy (free of the top 9 allergens, including sesame) for trick-or-treaters
  • Place a teal pumpkin in front of your home to alert trick-or-treaters that you have a food-allergy friendly home
  • Add your home to the Teal Pumpkin Project map
  • Spread the word! Share the Teal Pumpkin Project with your friends and family

How To

To begin with, I grab one of my blank pumpkin cut-outs and trace it onto the piece of teal cardstock I chose for this project. Using scissors I cut the shape.

At this point, I paint Mod Podge onto the wood and back of the paper and place the paper onto the wood rubbing it flat. I also stuck a copper foil “Hello” onto the pumpkin. I did all of this as a demo at a fundraising event, for more instruction on this part you can find it HERE.

    The pumpkin obviously needed more decorating (In case you haven’t noticed by now, I am, what some people call, extra). So I grabbed one of the leaves off of the flowers I was using and painted it with Copper Patina Paint and Copper Glaze. Then I cut them apart into three individual leaves.

      Afterward, I attach my flowers, leaves, and wire to the pumpkin using hot glue. For more information on the curly wire look HERE.
