Anyone else heard of it?  This is the first year I've ever heard of it.  Basically you paint a pumpkin teal and put it outside your door to signal people that you offer non food items for allergy ridden kids.

The Teal Pumpkin Project™

It's a good thing I guess.

My cousin, who has an extreme allergy to milk, eggs and red dye, was not allowed to go to random houses.

She went to family and friends houses.

Her mom could not take the chance.

Of course this was back in the 80s.

I've seen people mix little toys, pencils and stickers in with the candy.

I like that.

I do this yearly. I always have Halloween toys in addition to candy. Never thought of it as being for kids with allergies but am glad if a kid was able to get something for Halloween that they could have.
