Halloween Safety Tips for children

Halloween is quickly  approaching  and kids of all ages dream about their costumes and the variety of candy they will be collecting from trick or treating.   Bottom line…Halloween is a lot of fun, but it can be scary too. Shop The Gift Basket Store would like to take a few minutes to offer some basic Halloween safety tips for young children.

1.   Children should always be accompanied by a responsible adult

2.   Carry flashlights and glow sticks so that others can see them.

3.    Never go inside another person’s home

4.   Don’t eat candy until parent checks it out.

5.   Children should walk in groups or in pairs. They should never be out alone.

6.   Have a preplanned route and go over that route with your child. If you accidentally get separated, mark off a few spots where you can rejoin up.

7.   Safer to walk than ride a bicycle on Halloween.

8.   If your child is wearing a mask with their costume, make sure the mask properly fits and is not obstructing their view.

9.   Review stranger danger. Instruct your child to never get in a stranger’s car.

10.   Children need to remain on well lit streets and on the sidewalks.
