Halloween Safety Tips for Kids

Halloween is full of fun activities for kids of all ages, including trick-or-treating. Help ensure your children are participating in all the fun, while doing it safely. Here are some helpful tips from Safe Kids Worldwide

Top Tips for Halloween Safety 

  • Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers.

  • Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating
  • Slow down and be alert! Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street. Turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away.
  • Remind kids to cross the street at corners or crosswalks.
  • When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls. Choose face paint over masks when possible. Masks can limit children’s vision.
