Can you BELIVE it’s already time to start thinking about Halloween? I feel like we were just celebrating the start of summer vacation! As we gear up for costume parades, parties and Trick-or-treating, it’s important to remember how to keep your family safe during celebrations.  Today we’re sharing Halloween safety tips that every family needs to keep in mind!

 

1) Bring a Flashlight: We all know that it gets dark early by the time Halloween rolls around.  Many streets are not well lit.  Prepare by bringing a flashlight for each family member.

2) Walk on Sidewalks: Stay on sidewalks, even in busy trick or treating areas.  When crossing

the street, use crosswalks.

3) Do Not Enter Homes: Stay with a trusted adult, and do not enter homes of strangers.

4) Glow in the Dark: Add reflective tape to any dark costume.

5) Avoid Fire: Stay a fair distance away from jack o lanterns, luminaries, or any open flames.  Choose costumes made of fire resistant material.

6) Candy Caution: Eat wrapped candy only.  Unwrapped candy or homemade treats should be discarded.

7) Stay Hydrated: With the hustle and bustle of Halloween, children can easily get dehydrated.  Bring water with you when Trick-or-treating.  Want to stay within your Halloween costume theme? Bring NESTLE® PURE LIFE® “Share-A-Scare™” Halloween Bottles along for the party.  These bottles are easily portable, and fit perfectly in a trick or treat bag!
