Trick-or-treating is fun, but safety comes first! 👻
Check out our top Halloween safety tips:
Stay Visible 👻
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 🧛♂️
Make sure costumes fit properly to avoid tripping. Avoid masks that obstruct vision; opt for non-toxic face paint instead.
Inspect Treats Before Eating 🍬
Wait until you're home to check all candy and treats. Discard anything that looks tampered with or isn’t securely wrapped.
Stick to Safe Walking Habits 🚶♀️
Cross streets at corners, use crosswalks, and avoid running across roads. Remind kids to look both ways and walk, don’t run, from house to house.
Avoid Dangerous Props 🪓
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 🎃
Encourage older kids and adults to handle carving tools. Younger children can decorate pumpkins with markers, stickers, or paint.
Mindful of Food Allergies 🥜
Keep an eye out for the teal pumpkins, which signal allergy-friendly, non-food treats. It’s a great way to ensure all kids have a fun and safe Halloween!
