Miscellaneous
Every year the end of October brings frivolous food, fright and fun to children of all ages. And every year it’s the same question at the beginning of October, “What is my Halloween Costume going to be this year?” But often times, what October fails to bring, is safety information for the entire celebratory Halloween day. The information is out there, don’t get me wrong, but you have to “look for it” – and most invincible trick-or-treaters feel that safety information is not necessary for them. However, safety information (whether it is costume safety, pedestrian safety, or treat safety) is necessary for ALL trick-or-treaters if they want to return home the exact same way they left – except with a big bag full of candy.
Be sure the costume is light and bright enough to be clearly visible to vehicles and other passers-by.
- For greater visibility, you can add reflective tape in a decorative way to the costume. You can also add this same reflective tape to the bag that is to collect all of the candy.
- Have your child carry a flashlight to be seen easily
- Halloween Costumes should not be so long that the child could trip and fall over it.
