Keep the Kids (and Yourself) Extra Safe This Halloween

HAVE FUN AND STAY SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN 3 Tips for a Great Oct. 31 (Even if Traditional Halloween Gets Canceled)!

4 425-497-8180 | WWW.PTPRO.BIZ But none of this changes the fact that there are several new safety concerns. Is it possible to trick-or-treat or throw a party during a pandemic? Or do we have to cancel Halloween? The answer is simple. The risk won’t go away before Oct. 31. Parents and partiers will have to make the call, but there are still plenty of ways everyone can have fun while staying safe. Will it happen or won’t it happen? That is the question of the month. Halloween is coming and many people want to know if kids should go out trick-or-treating or if there should be any sort of gatherings. For some people, it’s non-negotiable. Halloween is their day. They have to dress in costume, and they need that ghoulish fun. To complicate matters further, Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, making it prime time for all things spooky.

THROW A VIRTUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY! Is this as fun as an in-person party? Probably not, but it gives everyone a chance to dress up and stay within the confines of their own homes. You can still play your favorite spooky tunes and have a costume contest. Or have a decorating contest. Have everyone in attendance decorate their “party space” — the space you can see on camera. Then vote for the best! INCORPORATE A MASK INTO YOUR COSTUME. If you decide to go out, social distancing is still the name of the game, as are masks. Get creative with your costume and incorporate a mask into your creation. There are many pop culture characters who wear masks (superheroes, super villains, and sci-fi icons). There are a lot to choose from!

SANITIZE . Always keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer or pack of disinfecting wipes nearby. This goes for both kids and adults. Use the wipes to sanitize any candy you may receive (this goes for any packages for candy you buy at the store). If you happen to go out in costume — even if you socially distance — take your costume off as soon as you get home. Don’t let it come in contact with any other clothes, then toss it in the wash immediately. (If it’s not washable, airing it out over several days or using a disinfecting spray will do).
