Halloween Safety Tips For Your Family

Happy Halloween! We wanted to share some safety tips from safekids.org so your family can have a fun and safe Halloween this year:

General safety tips while trick-or-treating:

• Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers
• Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating
• Slow down and be alert! Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street. Turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away
• Remind kids to cross the street at corners or crosswalks
• When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls
• Choose face paint over costume masks when possible. Masks can limit children’s vision

Follow these tips to enjoy a happy and safe Halloween with your family!
