I know I am a little early (or a little late at being a little early), but I want to talk about something that there is still time for folks to participate in should they choose to. It's called The Teal Pumpkin Project and it is about giving Trick-or-Treaters who may have allergies or food restrictions an alternative option to take home so that the kids can still have the fun of going trick-or-treating!

It's pretty easy to participate, all you have to do is offer something for them that is not a food! Maybe a comic book, or a little toy or crayons or anything kid friendly and maybe a little spooky! I personally hand out little activity zines I print out (I make them myself, and also sell them at cons, should you ever want to pick some up!) along with a little set of crayons, maybe an eraser or little toy. You can get that kinda stuff in party packs at your local party/craft stores for a decent deal.

This doesn't mean you can't still hand out candy! Just make sure that things are properly labeled or easily identified! I make up little baggies with teal pumpkins on the ones that do not have candy. You may have to explain a little at the door, but a lot of the parents appreciate it and I think the kids are interested too (sometimes. Candy has a strong allure.)
