    Non candy Halloween treats for kids will not only make you the hit of the neighborhood with allergy-free families, but with all parents who try to limit candy consumption.

    This post contains affiliate links.

    Let’s be honest for a second. Parents really only take their kids trick-or-treating to be able to snag candy for themselves. And also to take pictures of their adorable kiddos dressed up in their costumes. But, no parent really wants to go home, late at night, after a long day of working and then feed their kids pounds of candy before bed. And for the next 3 weeks.

    Because of this parents internally jump for joy when their kids knock on your door and they find out that you’re giving out non candy Halloween treats for their kids. They are forever grateful for your house.  

    But even more than most parents are the parents whose child has a food allergy.  No one wants their children to feel left out and when all that’s being handed out for halloween treats are candy, it’s a bit of a bummer. Did you know 1 in 13 kids has a food allergy?  That means roughly 2 kids in every class. 

    A teal jack o lantern.

    How to Be An Food Allergy Friendly Halloween house?

    It’s really simple actually!

    Step 1: Buy Non Food Halloween Treats (see below)

    Step 2: Just place a teal pumpkin outside your house. What’s a teal pumpkin? Over the last few years, the teal pumpkin project has really been gaining traction.  Essentially, it’s a way for parents with children that have food allergies to know that they can go to this house and find safe options for their children.  You can either DIY paint a pumpkin teal or buy one! This year, many big-box stores are making it even easier to find teal pumpkins with their store bought reusable options.

    • Bottles of Water
    • Fruit (Bananas or Oranges)
