Everyone loves a good scare on Halloween, but not when it comes to the safety of our little trick-or-treaters! Fortunately, there are LOTS of easy things families can do to stay safe on the spookiest of holidays:
- Stay home if you’re sick
- Get tested if you have Covid-19 symptoms
- Take precautions in crowded or indoor events
- Put a nametag with your phone number on your child’s costume
- Avoid shoes or props that may cause your child to trip and fall
- Inspect treat bags before kids eat
- Look for signs of tampering with wrappers
- Never accept homemade items from people you do not know
- Remove choking hazards: gum, peanuts, hard candy, and small toys
- Confirm that treats are not cannabis (marijuana) edibles
- When in doubt throw it out!!
