A little preparation can make Halloween a lot safer for kids! If you are going trick-or-treating with kids, keep these important safety tips in mind:
🔦 Light the way: It gets dark earlier this time of year! Carry flashlights or glow sticks and add reflective tape to costumes and bags so kids are easier to see.
🚸 Stay street-smart: Use sidewalks and crosswalks, look both ways before crossing, and stay alert for cars. Younger children should always have an adult with them.
🍬 Check the treats: Inspect candy and treats before kids eat them. Avoid anything unwrapped, damaged, or suspicious.
👻 Choose safe costumes: Make sure costumes fit properly to prevent trips and falls. Use face paint when possible and ensure masks don't block vision or breathing.
Let's work together to make Halloween fun, memorable, and safe for every little trick-or-treater!
