We rounded up our seasonal favorites to share with you: How to make the Halloween holiday more inclusive for kids with food allergies (because they deserve all the Halloween fun too); no-carve pumpkin ideas (because pumpkin guts are gross); some cool adaptive costume ideas (including DIY); and a roundup of not-so-spooky food fun (your kids will giggle over this spider sandwich!).

Read on for all the details and we hope you have a fang-tastic Halloween season!





The Teal Pumpkin Project is boo-tiful

Have you ever noticed teal pumpkins in a store or on a neighbor’s porch this time of year? Teal pumpkins aren’t just a colorful twist on the traditional jack-o’-lantern. Teal is the color of food allergy awareness, and teal pumpkins are a special way that you can make Halloween brighter for youngsters with food allergies and other medically restricted diets. Find out how to participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project and get ideas for non-food treats to include at your house this year.
