Today is the start of our 5 days of tips and tricks to help keep you, your little ones and your home safe this Halloween!
Mummies, keep your kids under close wrap this Halloween:
- Be careful when choosing a costume with Masks or Wigs. Masks and Wigs can make it hard
- for children to see what’s around them, including cars.
- Make or buy costumes in lightcoloured material.
- Place strips of reflective tape on the back and front of costumes, so that drivers can better see your child.
- Costumes should fit properly to prevent trips and falls. Avoid items such as oversized shoes, high heels, long dresses and long capes.
- Dress your child for the weather. Add layers if needed.
- Put your child’s name, address and phone number on their costume.
- Always send your little trick or treaters out with an adult.
- Keep in mind that gum and hard candy can pose a choking risk for young children.
- Always go through your child’s candy when they return home to make sure its safe to eat!
