Halloween is a festival everyone enjoys but kids love it a little extra. They dress up as their favorite characters and then go for trick-or-treating. What is more exciting than getting free candies! They roam the streets after dark, going from house to house and enjoy the spirit of this festival. Halloween parties are also arranged with scary themes and decorations which are another way for kids to have fun and show off their creativity. It should be relished at its peak at the same time maintaining safety and security.

Following are some tips for you so that you can have a happy and safe Halloween.

1.   Dress with care

The costumes that kids wear should be bought or made keeping these things in mind:

  • They should not be very long so that kids trip over them.
  • The masks or face covering should not be made of a sharp material.
  • They shouldn’t hinder their visibility.
  • The material of their costumes should be fire
  • Test the makeup before using to avoid any irritation or allergies.
  • Avoid using decorative contact lenses.

2.   Visibility

As kids go out in the dark, it is best to use reflective tape on their dresses or hand them glow sticks that would make them visible to drivers.

3.   Keep it fake

If your kids are using swords, knives or spears, make sure they are soft and flexible.

4.   Stay together

Kids should walk in groups and accompanied by an adult teen or at least one adult. Stay on the sidewalks of the well-lit main roads and avoid empty places.

5.   Technical supervision

You can supervise them with parental controls which provide you location amenities. FamilyTime is a good parental control app that you should try. It would let you stay aware of their movement and assess any danger as well.
