Follow These Tips To Help It Be A Safe Halloween
The outdoor decorations are a sign Halloween is around the corner. To help make it safe, please consider these tips from the National Safety Council.
Costume Tips
· All costumes, wigs and accessories should be fire-resistant.
· If children are allowed out after dark, fasten reflective tape to their costumes and bags, or give them glow sticks.
· Use nontoxic Halloween makeup instead of masks, which can obscure vision; always test makeup in a small area first to see if any irritation develops.
· Remove all makeup before children go to bed to prevent skin and eye irritation.
Trick-or-Treat Tips
· A responsible adult should accompany young children on the neighborhood rounds.
· If your older children are going alone, plan and review a route acceptable to you.
· Agree on a specific time children should return home.
· Teach your children never to enter a stranger's home or car.
· Instruct children to travel only in familiar, well-lit areas and stick with their friends.
