Some tips to make Halloween safe include: * Costumes should be short enough so they don't cause your child to trip and fall * Add some reflective tape to the costume or bag your child is using to carry candy, or choose a costume made of bright material that is visible in the dark * Masks should fit securely and allow your child to see well * If using face paint, make sure it is nontoxic and hypoallergenic * Children should be well supervised by an adult when trick-or-treating * Carry a flashlight * Follow rules of the road * Stick to the sidewalk. * You should prepare your home for trick-or-treaters by removing obstacles * Provide treats that are individually wrapped * Artificial lights and candles are a safer alternative to real candles with a flame that can pose a fire hazard when lighting a Jack-O-Lantern
