Help your child pick out or make a Costume that:
- Is Fire Proof
- Has large eye holes for good peripheral vision
- Is brightly colored. (If the costume is dark, add reflective tape.)
- Is easy to walk in without tripping.
- Is warm enough in cooler weather. (Wear warm clothes underneath if it gets chilly on Halloween night.)
On Halloween, go Trick-or-Treating during daylight hours, and with a responsible adult. Plan a safe route. Set a time to return home.
Don’t cut through back alleys and fields. Be careful crossing the streets. Use the sidewalks, and stay on the left side of the road, facing traffic. Carry a flashlight.
WALK from house to house. Use sidewalks and walkways, and do not cross yards or lawns where unseen objects or terrain can cause you to trip. Stop only at familiar houses in your neighborhood unless accompanied by an adult.
Eat before going out so you’re less likely to snack on the candy you collect. Inspect all treats when you get home before eating it. When in doubt, throw it out.
Now’s the time to remind kids to NEVER go into the home of a stranger or get into their car. Stay in groups. Be respectful of others. And have fun!
