Halloween can be a fun and
exciting holiday. Children and many
adults enjoy dressing in costume, eating sweet snacks, and even participating
in spooky activities like a haunted walk.
Luckily many communities, businesses, churches, and schools now have daytime Halloween programs that provide a safer environment for
trick-or-treating.
In fact, Little Angels Preschool & Daycare’s Trunk-or-Treat is on
Halloween, Thursday, October 31 at 3:00 p.m.
Parents – Please let us know if you’re coming to hand out candy and to
see all of the adorable costumes!
Remember we also close early on that day. So you’ll need to make arrangements to pick
up your child by 4:00 p.m.
·
Remind children to walk, not run, and to stay
with you or the adult who is supervising them.
·
Use sidewalks and crosswalks as often as you
can. Try to avoid walking in between
cars or using alleyways for shortcuts.
·
Tell the children that all candy must be
inspected by you before they eat any.
It’s best to avoid any homemadetreats.
·
Add reflective tape or stickers to costumes and
candy bags/buckets.
·
Make sure that their costume fits well and
remove trip hazards. If their costume
has long sleeves they could be dangerous around flames, not to mention get
extra messy around food and drinks!
·
Be sure they wear safe, sturdy shoes to prevent
slips and falls.
·
Try to avoid masks and apply makeup
instead. This will allow them to see
clearly. If they must wear a mask, check to
make sure they can breathe easily and that the eyeholes are large enough to
allow full vision. Most masks can be
trimmed to accommodate the wearer. Grease
paint could be applied near the eyes to blend their skin into the mask better.
·
Accessories should be foam or soft. Hard plastic knives and swords can still hurt.
·
Costumes should be flame-resistant. If they’re also covered in hairspray or
spray-on hair color, it may be wise to tell them to completely avoid any open flames.
·
Provide them with a glow stick or flashlight to carry. It will help them see better when walking and
help others see them.
·
At the end of the evening, make sure that they
wash off all of their makeup to avoid irritation of the eyes or skin.
Are you still deciding on
what costume to make?
