Be sure to have a fun and safe Halloween this year by following these Trident Area SAFE KIDS safety tips
1. Costumes
- My costume is short and snug.
Baggy sleeves or billowy capes and skirts can trip you up and catch fire if they brush against jack-o’-lanterns or candle flames. - My shoes fit.
Big, floppy shoes (clown shoes, adult shoes) — that are hard to walk in may make you fall. - My costume props are flexible.
Costume props can hurt you badly if you fall. Make sure swords, knives, etc. are made of flexible plastic or rubber. - The eyeholes in my mask are wide enough.
Make sure your mask fits properly and the eyeholes allow you to see fully. Don’t wear a mask that is too loose — it can slip and block your vision. Even better, paint your face instead of wearing a mask.
2. Streets
- Drivers can see my costume in the dark.
Be original with a glow-in-the-dark costume — jazz up your costume by attaching some retroreflective tape and stickers. - I’m trick-or-treating in a group.
Don’t go it alone while trick-or-treating. Kids, if you’re under age 13, make sure you go with an adult. Older kids should always go with buddies. - I cross streets at crosswalks and intersections.
Stop at street corners. Look left, right and left again before crossing and don’t cross between parked cars!Remember, never step into the street without looking to see if a vehicle is coming.
3. Treats
- I make sure my parents check my treats before I eat them. Pick only wrapped candy when you trick-or-treat. Ask your parents to check all treats to make sure they are safe.
More safety tips for throughout the year.
