It’s spooky season! Happy Halloween!
Before going out trick or treating, make sure you’re following these tips to make Halloween a fun and safe holiday:
- Supervise kids under the age of 12 for trick-or-treating.
- Walk safely! Make sure your kids use sidewalks, traffic signals, and crosswalks. Have them look several times before crossing the street.
- Have your kids wear bright colors or carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers.
- When selecting a costume, make sure it is comfortable and a good size to prevent any falls. Try to use face paint or makeup instead of a mask that can obstruct a child’s vision.
- If you’re giving out candy, be alert of any allergies.
- Always check candy before eating it.
- If you’re driving, slow down and be alert.
- Popular trick or treating hours are 5:30 – 9:30 p.m. Make sure your kids are home early and in a safe neighborhood.
- Wear a mask and try to social distance yourself outdoors as much as possible.
- Limit your group size if you are celebrating together and practice good hygiene together. Don’t go out if you feel sick.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
