Trick-or-treating is fun, but safety comes first! ๐ป
Check out our top Halloween safety tips:
Stay Visible ๐ป
Equip costumes with reflective tape or glow sticks to ensure visibility. Remind kids to carry a flashlight and to stick to well-lit areas to stay safe while trick-or-treating.
Choose Safe Costumes ๐งโโ๏ธ
Make sure costumes fit properly to avoid tripping. Avoid masks that obstruct vision; opt for non-toxic face paint instead.
Inspect Treats Before Eating ๐ฌ
Wait until you're home to check all candy and treats. Discard anything that looks tampered with or isnโt securely wrapped.
Stick to Safe Walking Habits ๐ถโโ๏ธ
Cross streets at corners, use crosswalks, and avoid running across roads. Remind kids to look both ways and walk, donโt run, from house to house.
Avoid Dangerous Props ๐ช
Accessories like swords, knives, or sticks should be soft and flexible to prevent injuries. Ensure that no costume elements have sharp edges.
Pumpkin Carving Caution ๐
Encourage older kids and adults to handle carving tools. Younger children can decorate pumpkins with markers, stickers, or paint.
Mindful of Food Allergies ๐ฅ
Keep an eye out for the teal pumpkins, which signal allergy-friendly, non-food treats. Itโs a great way to ensure all kids have a fun and safe Halloween!
