It's hard to believe that summer is over and we are well into fall, but Halloween is almost here. Hopefully you have your costume all ready for your little one. Or you're like me, and trying to find a costume that doens't include anything on my son's head, because he wont wear hats. Whether you have everything planned, or are in a last minute panic, here are some tips to help keep Halloween safe.
Make sure your child's costume doesn't limit their vision. When possible, use face paint and not a mask. Paint is safer because they can still see where they are going and their surroundings.
Check your child's costume and make sure there isn't anything that is going to trip them, or tangle them in any way.
If you are trick-or treating at a mall, or some other location where there will be a lot of children, make sure you pick a place to meet in case you get separated.
Before you even set out trick-or-treating, have a talk with your child about what is going to happen to all that candy. That way, they know what to expect before they are tempted with a bag full of candy. A good solution is to keep some candy out, and put the rest away for later. Or, you can take the candy to work and let your co-workers enjoy it.
Have a fun time trick-or-treating and enjoying the last days of fall!
