Herein
you shall find important safety tips. This is by no means the end all
of safety. Common sense will always be your best bet. If it seems like
a bad idea? it probably is.
|
|
|
Make-up is preferable to masks since
it won't block
your vision. If a mask is worn, make sure the eye holes are big enough
so that you can see clearly. Masks should be removed before crossing
the street.
|
|
|
| Costumes should be non-flammable and
bright enough
to be seen at night. Robes, gowns, etc. must be short enough so that
they can't be tripped over. |
 |
|
|
|
If
possible, stay in your own neighborhood, and visit only the houses of
people that you know. If you do go where you dont know people, never
ever enter a persons home. |
|
|
| Absolutely do not to eat any treats
before they've been checked by an adult. It's a good idea to eat dinner
before going out. That way, you won't be tempted to nibble. |
 |
|
|
 |
You should trick-or-treat in the
late afternoon or early evening and you should stay on streets that are
well lit and cross only at corners, and never between parked cars or
the middle of the street.
|
|
|
| This list could go on and on. The
best recipe for safe and happy trick-or-treating is common sense,
caution and adult supervision. |
