Children's Halloween Safety Tips

Ghouls and goblins and witches, oh my! When it comes to Halloween, it’s fun to be scared--but not at the expense of your child’s safety! If you’re taking to the streets to embark on the great candy hunt that comes once a year, make sure to be safe! These Halloween safety tips will have ensure you and your child have a fun day, out of harm’s way:

Costume Safety:

• Plan costumes that are bright and reflective--make sure they fit your child well to avoid the risk of injury.
• Add reflective tape to their candy collecting bags.
• Opt for face makeup instead of masks to avoid blocking their eyesight.

• Be sure to look for wigs and costumes that are flame resistant.

On the Trick Or Treat Trail:

• Always be sure to accompany your child on their neighborhood rounds.
• Provide flashlights for your kids, as it gets darker much earlier around Halloween time.
• If your children are old enough to go out alone, make sure you plan and review a route that is safe for them to go and that they always stay with a group of friends.
• Reinforce to your child that they should never ever enter a home or car for a treat.
• Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk, making sure to look both ways when crossing.
• Refrain from using your cell phone while trick or treating as you’ll want to be alert and looking all around for motorists.

We hope you and your children have a safe and happy Halloween!
