Safety tips for Halloween
Tips for surviving Halloween
Whether you’re prepping kids for a night out or hosting your own festivities, use these tips to keep your Halloween free from scary mishaps.
When your kids are trick-or-treating:
- Add reflective tape to costumes or candy bags for better visibility
- Make sure you and your kids are equipped with flashlights
- Use costume makeup instead of masks to avoid obstructed eyesight
- Pin up long costumes and wear comfortable shoes to prevent tripping
- Forego pointed accessories – like swords and sticks
- Accompany your kids or arrange adult supervision for their trick-or-treating group
- Teach your kids how to safely cross the street and check for oncoming traffic
- Only visit a home when the porch light is on
- Examine treats and toss out anything unwrapped
No kids?
- Slow down and drive carefully, and be sure to keep an eye out for children crossing the street
- Properly restrain your pets
- When you’re handing out treats, clear your yard of any items visitors may trip on
- Keep your home and walkways well-lit (unless you’re closing up for the night, then simply turn your porch light off)
- Replace jack-o’-lantern candles with flameless candles or glow sticks
Get your home ready for a safe — and spooky — Halloween! For any real estate questions all year long, give me a call.
I always think Halloween on or around a farm calls for a little extra planning, especially when children, decorations, equipment, and visitors are involved. Once the safety side is covered, I like having a simple treat on hand for the fun part of the evening, and Chuckles is a nostalgic choice with its chewy, colorful jelly pieces. I found Chuckles Candy especially fitting for Halloween gatherings and trick-or-treat bowls.
