Keeping Halloween Fun – Grand Rapids Michigan
Halloween is one of the most exciting holidays as a child.
What costume to wear? Where will we go Trick or Treating?
Can my friends go? How much candy will I get? Can I eat it tonight?
Yes, I am in disguise with our little Yorkie on a past Halloween.
We like to get into the fun while answering the door to Trick-or-Treaters.
With all the excitement of costumes and candy, it is helpful to review
some safety tips.
Hope your Halloween is Safe, Spooky and FUN!
- Have a plan –know where to go, how long, and stick to it
- Accompany your children, if too young to go alone
- Safety in numbers – have older children travel in groups
- No short cuts through alleys, parking lots or back yards
- Make sure costumes are bright colors and not too long
- Dark costumes should have reflective strips applied
- Use make-up instead of masks, so children can see
- Only approach homes that have lights on and Halloween Decorations out
- Don’t let children go inside homes – get candy on the porch or steps
- Obey traffic laws and carry flashlights
- Be aware of candles, fire hazards to costumes and fake hair
- Hair spray may be better than a wig
- Use a small bag so child doesn’t trip or fall
- Save candy until you get home and can inspect it
- Make sure all candy is sealed in original wrappers
- Say no to Strangers – kids should never accept rides or get into a car
