Are your kids getting excited for trick-or-treating this Friday? Help set them up for a fun and safe Halloween (without the actual scares!):
🎃 Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Ensure shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, tangling or coming into contact with flames.
🎃 Leave pumpkin carving to the grownups. Have the kids draw the pumpkin design with markers but keep knives away.
🎃 Keep your entryway safe for trick-or-treaters by removing trip hazards from the porch or front yard.
🎃 Carry a flashlight and give your kids one as well.
🎃 Only visit homes with a lit porch light. Never enter a home or a car for a treat.
🎃 Review with your children how to call 911 if they ever have an emergency or become lost.
