Halloween is an exciting time of year for kids, and we can all make sure that children have a safe holiday with the following tips. Pedestrian safety should be high on your list of precautions. According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control roughly four times as many children ages 5-14 are killed while walking on Halloween evening than on other nights of the year. Remind your ghosts and goblins to use crosswalks and sidewalks, and to carry a flashlight. If you are driving, be extra careful of small witches and vampires, princesses, robots, and other beings.
- Masks should not obstruct a child’s vision - consider face paint or makeup instead. If a child wears makeup, parents should look for non-toxic, hypoallergenic kits.
- halloween Costumes should be flame-retardant and fit properly. Avoid oversized shoes, high heels and long skirts or pants that could cause a child to fall.
- Children who will be trick-or-treating after dusk should have reflective tape on their costumes and carry flashlights.
