Halloween is coming up sooner than we think!
With many Halloween trick or treat activities and events, it is important to make sure kids are staying safe while out trick or treating or experiencing Halloween festivities!
Connecticut State Police has released a list of safety concerns to think about when taking your kids out trick or treating!
Some tips include:
- Wear bright, light-colored or reflective costumes so that motorists see you. Add reflective tape to trick-or-treat bags for increased visibility.
- Carry a flashlight so that you will be seen as you walk from house to house.
- Use caution as you visit houses. Be alert for objects or toys in the walkway or on the porch.
- Never enter anyone’s house or car for a treat.
- Always go trick-or-treating in a group that includes adults; never go out alone.
- Do not eat any treats until you arrive home and your parents inspect all goodies.
- Only collect treats from those you know.
- Always watch for cars as you walk from house to house.
- Do not wear a mask that hinders vision in any way. (Ct.gov)
