Halloween is an exciting time of year for kids, and to help ensure they have a safe holiday, here are some tips to make this season safe and fun, and above all with the best costume.
Safety Tips
- Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Ensure that the footwear fits the child well and that the costumes are short enough to avoid tripping, getting tangled, or coming into contact with flames.
- Consider adding reflective tape or strips to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for added visibility.
- Since masks can limit or block vision, consider using non-toxic makeup and decorative hats as safer alternatives. Hats should be the right size to prevent them from slipping over the eyes.
- When purchasing costumes, wigs, and accessories, look for those with a label indicating they are flame-resistant.
- If a sword, cane, or stick is part of your child's costume, make sure it is not sharp or pointed, and that it is not too long. A child can easily injure themselves with these accessories if they trip.
- Get flashlights with new batteries for all children and their companions.
