If you plan to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project this Halloween, good for you. Making non-food items available to trick or treaters is not just a thoughtful gesture of inclusion for kids whose allergies would otherwise prevent them from joining in the fun, but it’s also just a great idea — period. Non-edibles don’t spoil or cause tooth decay, and can provide a fun reminder of the special night long after the costume and face paints go back in the dress-up box.
On the other hand, as any parent whose kids are regulars on the birthday party circuit knows, a lot of the stuff you’ll typically find in a goodie bag isn’t all that good. The trick to better treating is avoiding cheap plastic doodads that eventually wind up in a landfill (talk about spooky!) in favor of small but thoughtful items that have actual play value.
