Halloween Safety Tips for Costumes

Light up the night and your kids with wearable glow and LED items so they are seen from a mile away on Halloween night.

• Give the kids a "glow" with reflective tape on their shoes and costumes or glow-stick necklaces around their necks.
• Look for light-up wearable items, such as necklaces, pins, even rings to help the kids be seen.
• Make sure that costumes fit properly, from the length of a garment to shoes, to avoid the kids tripping in poorly lit areas.
• Consider saving Halloween masks for the party and not wearing them while trick or treating. Try make-up instead of a mask to keep in theme and be safe.
• Check costume labels to make sure that they are flame resistant.
• If your kids' costumes include props, like a sword or light saber, make sure that it is not sharp in any way and talk to them about the fact that it is only a prop and not a weapon - even if they are playing!
