Halloween Safety Tips

Fall celebrations like Halloween and Harvest Day are fun times for children, who can dress up in costumes, enjoy parties, and eat yummy treats. These
celebrations also provide a chance to give out healthy snacks, get physical activity, and focus on safety.

Check out these Halloween health and safety tips from the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) and have a safe and Happy Halloween!

  • Swords, knives and other costumer accessories should be short, soft and flexible.
  • Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a
    trusted adult.
  • Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
  • Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats
    you eat!
