Halloween is a special and fun night for trick or treating with friends and dressing up in colorful and creative costumes. Make your Halloween a safe time by doing the following:
- Select a costume, mask, beard, or wig made of materials that cannot burn.
- Wear a mask that allows you to see, hear, and breathe clearly. Do not wear a long or baggy costume or high heels on shoes or boots that might cause you to trip or fall.
- Go trick or treating with friends. Always have an adult or a teenager as an escort to every house. Do not enter houses of people you do not know.
- Trick or treat in the early evening hours and only approach houses that have an outside light on at the front porch.
- Do not cut across lawns to get to other houses.
- Eat dinner or a snack before going trick or treating so you won't be tempted to eat sweets while collecting them. Have your parents inspect all treats. Save only store wrapped treats and throw away anything that is not wrapped. Don't eat candy if the wrapper is already open or ripped.
- Jack-o-Lanterns are a fun reminder that it is Halloween. If you choose to light your family's Jack-o-Lantern with a candle, keep the pumpkin away from curtains, tablecloths, or other items that could catch fire, including costumes.
