Choose the right costume

• Ensure that your children are dressed appropriately for Halloween.
• Choose costumes that fit well and can be worn over warm clothing to protect your child against cold and wet weather.
• Pick brightly coloured costumes that can be clearly seen by motorists. Add reflective tape to the costume to increase visibility.
• If you do choose a mask, make sure it fits properly and allows them to see and breathe easily.
• Avoid costumes that are too big or have long dangling pieces that children can trip over. 

Stay secure while trick or treating

• Keep your children safe by teaching them to stay visible and to be aware of their surroundings.
• Go trick or treating with your children each year until they are old enough to go with a friend.
• Give each child a flashlight to carry, to make them more visible to motorists and others.
• Tell your children to stay in well-lit areas and only visit homes that have their outside lights turned on. Make sure they know never to go inside homes or cars.
• Teach your children to be careful when crossing the street. Make sure they look both ways and only cross when no cars are coming. Cross streets at the corner, and never cross between parked cars.
• Be cautious with candy and toys
• Always examine the treats and toys that are brought home before giving them to your children.

Tell your children not to eat any treats until you have looked them over.

• Be careful when giving children any treats that could be potential choking hazards such as chewy candies, peanuts and hard candies.
• Check toys or novelty items for small parts and do not let children under three years of age play with them.
