This post is sponsored by Michaels as part of the Michaels Makers program. All photos and opinions are my own.
The meaning behind a teal pumpkin on a porch is that the house is offering allergy-free treats. This provides children with food allergies a chance to trick or treat without the threat of allergic reactions. We have a several food allergies in our family, including some of the major allergens like wheat and peanuts. We only recently discovered these over the summer. This has made a big difference in our home and moving forward I would like to share more about what we’re doing to make holidays as traditional as possible.

Teal Pumpkin Project Ideas

To make this Halloween pumpkin project you will need a teal pumpkin, carving tool, paint and vinyl for the eyes. Michaels has partner with the FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) to provide ready-to-use blue pumpkins for your Halloween porch. The teal is such a pretty color, and perfect for using as-is or decorating with any imaginative creation you can think of. To help support, be sure to pick up a teal pumpkin at Michaels and put it out front to let Moms know their kids have safe options!

I’m calling this project a candy holder, but you can definitely fill it with non-candy options, too. I’m adding a list below of non-candy Halloween ideas for allergy-friendly trick or treaters. If you have any suggestions, please add them in the comments below! I would love to hear how your family celebrates Halloween with allergy-free options.

Supplies:

  • TEAL Pumpkin
  • Black paint
  • X-acto knife
  • Vinyl
  • Brush
  • Halloween Hat (part of a headband in the costume section)

Allergy-free ideas for Halloween

  • Stickers
  • Eyeball and spider rings
  • Vampire fangs
  • Yo-yos
  • Glow sticks
  • Bubble wands
  • Mini notebooks
  • Halloween pencils
  • Stamps
  • Pencils
  • Erasers
  • Slime containers (carefully read labels for possible allergens)

Teal pumpkin project ideas

How to make a Pumpkin Candy Holder

  • Begin by outlining your pumpkin design. A pencil or pen works great for drawing the mouth. We kept ours simple with a smile, but feel free to get creative with teeth.
  • Carve out the design using an x-acto knife or pumpkin knife.
  • Paint the inside of the pumpkin with black paint.

Teal Pumpkin non-food treat holder

  • Cut triangles out of black vinyl to create eyes. Another option is to cut the eyes out just as you would with a real pumpkin.
  • Apply eyes to the pumpkin like stickers.
  • Remove hat from headband and hot glut to the top of the pumpkin.
  • Fill your pumpkin with allergy-free candy or non-candy options.
