HEY, PARENTS! Print off this fun Halloween coloring page to help your kids have a spooky good time!

Dietary restrictions can cause confusion, concern, and often stress for parents. Below are a few tips for navigating Halloween activities when your child has a dietary restriction of any type.

1. Almost everything is celebrated with food these days, but you can always enjoy non-food activities and share non-food trinkets.
2. Clean! This should go without saying, but it’s important to clean all table surfaces that you may be working on. Whether you’re making a craft or eating a snack, it’s best to start with a fresh clean surface.
3. If you’re unsure about a food ingredient or craft ingredient, look for more information and resources at F.A.R.E. With a little research and preparation, you can easily have a fun and SAFE celebration this year!
4. If you’d like to include food with your celebration, consider making some allergy-friendly spooky snacks together. Here are a few of our favorites:

Monster Toasts

Scary never looked so good! Start with avocado and sweet potato mash and work up a fright!

Ingredients:

• 4 Slices Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-free Mountain White Bread, lightly toasted
• ¼ C. Mashed Avocado
• 1 tsp. Fresh Lemon Juice

3. Cut 4 thin slices from the top quarter of the heirloom carrots for the inner eyes. Reserve the rest (intact) for ears.
4. Sprinkle the “cheeks” with seasoning mix.
5. Using the mouth of a shot glass, cut the eggs around the yolks to create eyes. Place the eggs/eyes onto each slice of toast, centered above the mouths.
6. Add the almonds as teeth, the carrot tips as ears and the micro-greens as hair.
7. Serve immediately.
