Choose Costumes Carefully

• Select flame-resident labels.
• Look for bright colors and add reflective tape to treat bags and shoes.
• Non-toxic makeup assures greater visibility than masks.
• Avoid costumes that are too long and keep large or sharp accessories home.
• Pass up on monster shoes or high heels and instead send the kids out in well-fitting shows that lace up.

Sit your Child down for a Serious Halloween Safety Talk

• Stay with your group and don’t go out alone.
• NEVER enter a stranger’s car or home.
• Stick with your planned route.
• Don’t eat any treats until you come home.
• Don’t run – walk and stay in well-lit areas.
• Take along your cellphone and a glow stick or flashlight.

*Children under age 10 should be supervised by an adult.

Prepare Yourself for Safety Too

• Make your home, yard and driveway safe for visiting princesses and action heroes. Keep candle-lit pumpkins away from steps and walks – better yet, invest in some battery-operated lights. Remove obstacles like lawn chairs and dog chains that can cause tripping.
