Halloween - Great Safety Tips

Halloween is tomorrow and here are some helpful, great tips to do before your night of fun:

1) Costumes- Make sure that your costume is comfortable. You want to enjoy the night and not be miserable in your attire. Also make sure that your costume will be seen when it gets dark. Cars are watching out for trick or treaters but if you can help them by having a flashing light or by wearing bright colors that way you are more likely to be seen.

2) Jack-O-Lanterns – If you have carved a pumpkin outside your house and it has a candle in it, make sure that you move away from the lantern when you are taking pictures so you don’t accidently catch your costume on fire.

3) Props- Make sure that if you are carrying a prop with you that goes with your costume that it doesn’t have an hard edges, you want to make sure your prop is smooth and flexible to make sure that if you fall on the object it won’t cause damage.

4) Before Trick or Treating – Make sure that you have a good and healthy meal before you go out for trick or treating. That way you won’t get hungry while you are out and you won’t get a tummy ache by eating too much candy.

5) Watch Out- Remember that you must look both ways to cross the street. Stay on the sidewalk, and ALWAYS go with someone, never trick or treat without being in a group with at least one adult. Always have a phone with you at all times, and make sure that you are home by 10, you should have enough candy at that time.

6) Candy – Make sure when you get home to check ALL candy. Never eat or keep candy that is unwrapped or open. If it doesn’t look right, DON’T try it!

Hopefully these tips will help you have a fun and safe Halloween! Have a great time!!!
