Halloween can be so much fun for kids and adults. But it is important to also follow some safety steps to keep it fun. Here are some tips to safely celebrate Halloween 2021.
1. Make sure that the child’s costume is not too long, and they will not trip on it when walking. It is also a good idea to have shoes that fit as a part of the costume.
2. One of Halloween’s best traditions is decorating. There are endless Halloween crafts you and your family can do. Consider making something special.
3. Have a scary movie marathon. You can watch Halloween movies any day of the year, but there’s something special when you watch scary movies on Halloween. Put up your costumes and get some popcorn.
4. If your child is under 5 years old and below, it is a good idea to avoid masks, as they may be both frightening and dangerous by the limited vision. Let your kid get used to their costumes before Halloween. Also, discuss with your kid what is real and not real. Allow them to them to express fears and provide comfort at your job as their parent to protect them.
5. When you are driving, be alert for people walking on the roadways and curbs and carefully enter and exit driveways and alleys.
6. Although it is not really recommended to take your pet out in the chaos of Halloween. However, if you decide to take your pet out. Be sure to decide to dress up your furry baby, be careful about the costumes. Make sure that there are no toxic materials, and the outfit does not bind your pet or cut into their skin. Keep an eye on your pet.
7. Prepare a Halloween dinner for your family. You can make simple finger food for your kids and make a gourmet dinner for grown-ups. Make sure to make the theme ‘Halloweeny’.
8. Be sure that your kids are using non-toxic make-up. It is always wise to check the labels and do a skin test to make sure there is no irritation or allergic reactions.
9. Children should be supervised properly by parents. Never let your child go alone. Remind your child the basic safety when walking in the streets.
10. If possible go for costumes that are flame resistant.
Halloween doesn’t have to be all sweet treats or scary costumes. There are many other ideas for treats like fruit snacks, Jello snacks, rice cereal treats, and pretzels. Remember to get creative and be happy to make memories!
