Trick-Or-Treat Safety Tips

Getting candy is fun! BUT it can also be extremly dangerous!

Follow these rules and always keep safety in mind!

1.Tell your parents about you're going, and what time you'll be back. Tell them who you're going WITH, and if their parents are going too. If your parents are coming along, you need to set your limits before you leave...how long, where, and who else.

2.DO NOT eat ANYTHING until it's been checked by your parents!

3.Never go Trick-Or-Treating alone. Go in a group, with your friends and at least one parent!

4.DO NOT go in ANY house!

5. Choose a costume that's light colored, and carry a flashlight. (and turn it in!)

6.Make sure your costume fits! If it's too long or baggy, you could trip on it! (and if it's too tight, it'll be uncomfortable!) Make sure it's made of flame retardent material!

7.No masks!! Use makeup or face paint instead!! Masks severely limit your vision and it's already dark...you NEED to be able to see well! The same for wigs, false beards and the like-make sure you can see well, and make sure they are flame retardent!

Follow the eyes home...
