Kid Safety 101: Halloween Edition

It’s almost here!!! Of course, I’m talking about Halloween! As we prepare for that spookiest of nights, I just wanted to share a few safety tips to help celebrate this magical time of year. 

The rush is on to find the perfect costume, for adults and kids alike, so when you head into the store, here are a few suggestions to help everyone stay safe and look boo-tiful too!

1. Opt for make-up and face paint instead of masks

   It makes trick-or-treating easier when everyone can see clearly. We wouldn’t want to obstruct the view of anyone crossing the street. Besides, what is more adorable than the face of your little one?

2. Skip the Props

   They can be awkward to carry and may pose tripping hazards. Kids only need to carry their bags and pails to collect their bounty of delicious loot. It also leaves hands free to hold. :D

3. Add Some Glow for the Go

   Speaking of candy containers, use glow-in-the-dark paint to decorate the bags and pails or add a few strips of reflective tape. It will enable cars to spot little trick-or-treaters crossing streets.

4. Inspect the candy

   Before it disappears into the kid’s hidden stash, give a check for anything that isn’t properly sealed or seems like it has been tampered with. 

5. Have fun! It’s what Halloween is all about!
