With Halloween fast approaching now is a good time to review some tips to help ensure you and your little goblins have a safe Halloween.

• Ensure costumes fit well and are fire proof.
• Look for costumes that don’t require masks.
• If your children are going to wear a mask, ensure the eye holes are large enough for them to see out of.
• Ensure costume props are smooth and flexible so they won’t hurt your child if they fall on them.
• Set jack-o-lanterns away from the front door so that the candle does not accidentally set trick-or-treaters costumes on fire.
• When trick-or-treating, carry flash lights or glow sticks.
• Consider putting reflective tape on your child’s costume.
• Trick-or-treat in familiar neighborhoods.
• Only go to those houses that have their lights on.
• Don’t let young children trick-or-treat by themselves.
• Look both ways before crossing the street.
• Trick-or-treat in groups.
