Halloween does not have to be dangerous
First of All - LIGHT IT UP THIS HALLOWEEN! Dark is not only spooky, but dangerous, too - carry light sticks and flashlights when you go out - see where you are headed, and make sure others (especially drivers!) see you.
Make sure Costumes are safe:
Only purchase or make Costumes from flame retardant materials
- Trim costumes with reflective tape
- Carry flashlights (glow sticks, flaming skulls, light sabers, etc.)
- Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping and falling
- Wear well-fitting, sturdy shoes
- Masks should fit! Using face paint or make-up whenever possible is a great alternative
- Make certain the eye holes are large enough for good peripheral vision
- Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be of soft and flexible material
- If it’s cold outside, wear warm clothes under the costume and carry body warmers!
