Below, you will find some suggested safety tips for your family and nanny kids. We have also provided a link below of where you can find Trick or Treating events near you. Do not forget we are hosting a Halloween Costume Contest as well, for more information read below. We hope everyone has a very safe and Happy Halloween!
- Always Trick or Treat with an adult
- Ensure that you are going to homes of neighbors you know
- Wear a bright colored costume and bring a flashlight or light up toy/bucket if it is dark
- Do not have you or your child wear costumes where you or they can not see well, or costumes that you may trip in.
- Always have an adult inspect all candy or food before giving it to your child. If your child has Food Allergies, always read the label before giving the candy to your child.
- Always follow all pedestrian safety laws.
- You can do a “Switch Witch” with your child. Where you exchange their candy for a fun toy, book, or other child safe items.
- Trick or Treat and a safe community Trunk or Treat event or other Trick or Treat event.
- Remember when passing out candy it is always a great idea to think about having something to give children with food allergies. 8% of children have food allergies in this country, and there are lots of options of small toy assortments available on Amazon, at a local Pharmacy (CVS and Walgreens), or a retail store.
