Coloured Pumpkins - A Special Meaning

TEAL PUMPKINS 🩵
 Teal Pumpkins were originally started by the Teal Pumpkin Project. The teal color means that the home has non-food treats available to hand out to trick-or-treaters. Instead of candy, a child with food allergies can receive small toys or items.It can also mean that the house has allergy-friendly candy. 

PURPLE PUMPKINS 💜
Purple Pumpkins were originally started by the Purple Pumpkin Project which began as a way to raise awareness for epilepsy. If you see a home that has a purple pumpkin displayed, it could mean either that someone who lives there has the condition or they know how to respond to an epileptic seizure.
 

PINK PUMPKINS 🩷

Many may already know this, but October is breast cancer awareness month so naturally, Pink pumpkins are in support of breast cancer awareness. If you see a pink pumpkin at a home, it could mean that a person in the home is a survivor, knows someone who is a survivor, or is currently undergoing treatment.

BLUE PUMPKINS 💙
A blue candy bucket may inform others that the child is on the autism spectrum. It helps others know that these trick-or-treaters may not be able to say "Trick or treat!" or "Thank you". Patience, kindness and acceptance in this situation ensures all children can trick-or-treat and have a great Halloween.

RAINBOW PUMPKINS🌈
A rainbow pumpkin typically refers to a pumpkin painted in rainbow colours and, its significance is primarily associated with Inclusivity, Diversity, and Acceptance, particularly within the context of Halloween and the LGBTQ+ community.
Unlike the other specific coloured pumpkins above, which have defined meanings to Food allergies, Autism, Epilepsy, Breast cancer , A rainbow pumpkin is a broader symbol of welcome.
