Halloween is an exciting holiday for both children and adults; you are able to dress up, step out, show off, and indulge in some tempting treats along the way. While we love the creativity and ability to show off some spooktacular costumes, it’s important to keep in mind a few tips and tricks in order to have a worry-free evening. Check out some trick-or-treating tips below:

Confirm Costume Safety

Check to make sure costumes are not too long, easy to walk in and don’t restrict breathing or vision. Adding reflective elements to a costume makes them easier to see in the dark.

Know The Area

By choosing an area you know it will be easier to navigate for both you and your children. Setting a designated point to meet should you separate makes it easier to find and reconnect.

Check The Goods

Always inspect your children’s candy haul before they dig in. Any unwrapped, homemade or questionable items should be discarded.

Follow Road Rules

The promise of candy can be tempting, but it’s important to cross traffic only where designated and stick to sidewalks. Remind your kids to look both ways before crossing the street and pick roads that are well lit and not busy if possible.

Brighten Up

Pairing brightly colored costumes with flashlights and glow sticks ensures both being able to see and be seen better.  

While these are just a few ideas, ensuring to discuss safety topics ahead of trick-or-treat time with your children is vital. As a company that is built around community, we love that we can come together and celebrate to ensure that the children have a fun and safe night.
