Halloween is a great time to show your creativity with a unique and fun costume. This Halloween we wanted to give you a few safe tips that may help everyone happy.
Here are some tips to have a safe Halloween:
choose flame retardant costume
costumes should be short enough so that they don't cause you to trip and fall,
add some reflective tape to the costume
masks should fit securely and allow you to see well
make sure face pain is nontoxic and hypoallergenic
children should be well supervised by an adult when trick-or-treating
carry a flashlight
stick to well lit houses
follow traffic signals and rules of the road
drive slowly around town or look for cars
avoid taking shortcuts across backyards or alleys
bring all candy home before eating it so that you can carefully inspect it for tampering
do not to eat--anything that isn't commercially wrapped
parents of young children should remove any choking hazards such as gum, peanuts, hard candies or small toys
homeowners should prepare their home for trick-or-treaters by removing obstacles from the front yard, restraining dogs and other animals, and lighting the house well
provide treats that are individually wrapped candy or offer kids nonfood treats, such as stickers and erasers.
artificial lights and candles are a safer alternative to real candles with a flame that can pose a fire hazard
if going to an adult Halloween party, make sure that you don't drink and drive. Use a designated driver if alcohol is being consumed.
