Teal Pumpkin Project Allergy-Safe Halloween Sign (8.5x11 PDF)
Food allergies affect 1 in 13 children, turning traditional candy-centric trick-or-treating into a hazardous experience for families managing severe nut, dairy, egg, or gluten sensitivities. The Teal Pumpkin Project encourages households to offer non-food treats (such as glow sticks, stickers, and mini toys), but many well-meaning hosts lack a physical painted teal pumpkin to display on their porch. This high-contrast, full-color and ink-saver printable sign provides an unmistakable visual indicator that a home offers safe, non-food alternatives. Formatted for standard 8.5x11 Letter and A4 page dimensions, parents and inclusive community hosts can print the placard in seconds, post it next to their entryway, and help make neighborhood trick-or-treating accessible and safe for all children.
