What Do Teal, Purple, And Pink Pumpkins Mean This Halloween?

Halloween is slowly creeping up on us and soon the streets of El Paso will be filled with kids walking around with their candy buckets, ready to load up on candy!

During the Halloween season we are used to seeing children walking around with the bright orange pumpkin buckets, but recently you may have noticed that now these orange pumpkins can come in other different colors, and there is a special reason for these different colored pumpkin buckets.

Trick-or-treaters are asked to educate themselves this Halloween

To some people, another colored pumpkin may be just that, another color, but to some kids and their parents these different colored pumpkins mean a lot more. Teal, purple, and pink pumpkins can signify a lot about the kid who is holding the pumpkin so it’s important that you know exactly what these colors mean so you can be prepared if a child comes to your house this Halloween.

This Halloween, it's not just about spookiness and treats; it's also about understanding, empathy, and support for those with special needs. So, keep an eye out for these colored symbols and make Halloween a holiday for everyone!
