Tips for Your Little Goblins This Spooky Season
Halloween is by far one of the most fun holidays for adults and children alike. In order to have the best possible time celebrating, here are some safety tips to keep your little goblin safe this year. Costumes Try to favor light colors for your children’s costumes. If your kids are in love with the darker costumes, add reflective or glow-in-the-dark tape to their outfits and candy bags. This helps ensure your child will be adequately visible regardless of the time of night. To help prevent falls, avoid oversized shoes and draping accessories. If your kid’s costume requires any props, make sure they’re short and made of flexible material. The Rules of the Road Talk to your kids about the rules of the road before venturing out this spooky season. The rules include basics like looking both ways before crossing the street, walking on sidewalks, and moving in the same direction as traffic. Make sure your kids don’t dart out into the street unexpectedly; they should only cross at designated crosswalks. Trick-or-Treaters Keep all trick-or-treaters visiting your house safe. Remove anything that could cause them to fall on your lawn or walkway. Always keep the outdoor lights on and make sure the lights illuminate a path to the front door. Treats According to FoodAllergy.org, 5.6 million children under the age of 18 have some kind of food allergy. Candies like Mike & Ike, Starburst, Skittles, Ring Pops, and Smarties are allergen-free candies and are perfect for any ghostly goblin that comes to your door! Stickers, erasers, and dried fruit are all excellent substitutes if you want to be extra cautious.
