Tomorrow night our little ones, as well as many others, will be heading out in their oh so adorable costumes. It is worth remembering some saftey precautions as your children are preparing to go trick-or-treating.
- It is imperative that your children can see and be seen. If necessary expand the eye holes of the mask to improve peripheral vision. Also adding reflective tape to the costume will make your child more visible to motorist
- Your childs costume should be flame retardant and while most are made of this material your should double check the label. If you are making the costume yourself ensure the fabric is flame retardant as well.
- Remind the child to remove their mask and look both ways before crossing the street.
- All of your little trick-or-treater should have a flashlight. Change the batteries before they head out.
- Adults should accompany any group of children out trick-or-treating. This should go without saying.
- No eating candy until you return home. (Unless its a 100 Grand Bar, then give it to Dad to “hold”)
- You should only trick-or-treat at homes of people you already know.
- After arriving home, inspect all the candies, etc. Dispose of any treat that is unwrapped or appears to have been tampered with.
Hopefully these tips should go without saying but we want everyone to have a happy and safe Halloween. Send us some of your best Halloween pictures and we will feature them here. Wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween.
