Keep Costumes Both Creative and Safe Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colours Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls Write your phone number on a child’s wrist, so people can contact you if your child got lost Drive Extra Safely on Halloween Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighbourhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5pm to 7 pm so be especially alert for kids during those hours http://www.safekids.org/tip/halloween-safety-tips-pdf .
