10 Crafty Ways To Support The #TealPumpkinProject

Every Halloween after all the trick-or-treating I have to take my kids candy away. It sucks, but they are used to it. I typically open a 'Halloween Store' where the kids pay me candy for a toy. This way nobody feels cheated. Plus there are always a few pieces of safe candy that pass my inspection and the kids get to eat. I have to do this because my son has a severe peanut allergy. Imagine if this year when we went trick-or-treating we stumbled upon a slew of teal pumpkins on doorsteps alerting me that this house gives out food allergy friendly treats. We could come home with a bag full of tattoos, bracelets, stickers and I could close down the store. A girl can hope right? This year FARE has started the #tealpumpkinproject and I have 10 crafty ways to inspire you to jump on the bandwagon this Halloween.
