This is such a great idea! A couple years ago I went to a trick-or-treat event and somebody said to my sweet daugther say trick-or-treat or no candy. My heart sank and I had to awkwardly explain to them that she couldn’t say trick-or-treat, and that really hurt my heart. I wouldn’t want anybody to feel that heartbreak even as innocent and fast as it was, it still hurt.

If you’re handing out candy, please be considerate with all kids, you never know what struggles they are facing.
If you are a parent to someone with special needs, this might be a great idea for your kiddos!

I’m currently on a lookout for a teal bucket myself. My girl has a hard time with being loud and with sentences so this would be very beneficial! 🥰
