Teal pumpkins can help kids with food allergies know where it's safe to trick-or-treat, while blue pumpkins are for autism awareness.
Along with traditional orange pumpkins, you may see some other colors decorating people’s houses or while out trick-or-treating this Halloween.
By placing a teal pumpkin on your doorstep, you are letting trick-or-treaters with food allergies and their families know that your house is food-allergy friendly, notes Gable. “This means offering non-food treats in addition to more traditional Halloween candy, making the holiday inclusive for all children who want to celebrate,” she says.
Blue candy buckets convey that the trick-or-treater has autism — and might be non-verbalBlue Halloween buckets are a subtle way to indicate that the child going trick-or-treating has autism. It appears to have started with Alicia Plumer, a mom whose 21-year-old son BJ has the condition. Plumer’s Facebook post about her son using a blue Halloween bucket to raise awareness of autism went viral in 2018 with 28,000 shares. “While he has the body of a 21 year old, he loves Halloween,” Plumer wrote.
Wendy Fournier, president of the National Autism Association, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that blue Halloween buckets could make the holiday easier for children with autism and provide a “dignified way” of letting people know that a child or young adult may not be able to participate in all of the traditional aspects of trick-or-treating.
