Halloween is right around the corner, and it's sure to be an exciting time of year for kids and adults. Maybe you'll be attending a party, taking your kids trick-or-treating, or just handing out candy at the door. No matter what your plans are, it's important that we all do our best to keep our kids safe this Halloween. Here are 6 Halloween safety tips:
- Have your kids trick-or-treat in neighborhoods that have sidewalks and less traffic.
- Make sure drivers can easily see your kids. You may want to give them flashlights or attach reflective tape to their costume or candy bag.
- Toss out any candy that is not in its original packaging or looks like it has been tampered with.
- Use artificial light in your jack-o-lanterns. If you do use candles, never leave them unattended.
- Make sure your porch/outdoor lights are working. You should also clear any debris from your sidewalk, driveway, or porch.
- If you plan on drinking, make sure you have a designated driver. On Halloween, drivers need to be more alert than ever.
