Provides Parents with Halloween Tips to Make Trick or Treating Safe and Fun!
Trick or treating can be and has been dangerous for some children if they do not take safety serious and have parental supervision. We KNOW trick or treating, because most of our staff tricked and treated until we were 16 years old, and now we take our kids. So make sure you take all of these tips seriously and ensure your kids have a safe and very spooky Halloween. If you have tips you'd like to offer please let us know.

HAUNTWORLD TRICK OR TREATING TIPS
1) Do not have your kids wear a costume that drags on the ground. Kids can trip on their own costumes.
2) Have kids wear a glow necklace or bracelet while they trick or treat. Have each of your kids wear a different color glow necklace so you know which one is which and who you might be missing even from afar.
3) Always bring a flash light.
4) Do not walk in the street; stay on sidewalks.
5) Wear shoes that fit like tennis shoes. Flip flops are not recommended. Do not wear high heels.
6) Make sure any masks have clear eye holes and have clear breathing holes. Have the kids double check that they can see and breathe easily BEFORE using at night.
7) Walk do not RUN! You'll get there...you have all night!
8) If your kids bring props such as a wand, a knife or a sword make sure they are flexible not hard or sharp.
9) Bring water or Gatoraid in case the kids get thirsty.
10) If you plan to trick or treat far from your home, make sure to park the car somewhere you can remember. Sometimes you can trick or treat for hours in a strange subdivision and when finished you have no clue where you are and the kids are tired. Here is a tip... trick or treat up and down a street then jump in the car and drive over to the next set of streets. Keep the car close to where you trick or treat.
11) Do not walk up to houses that do not have porch lights on.
12) Don't trick or treat much past 9:00pm.
13) Eat before you go out to trick or treat. Also make sure everyone goes to the bathroom before leaving the house.
14) Make sure adults accompany the kids.
15) Make sure any costume you buy is flame retardant. Remember, there are pumpkins out there with candle fire inside! Some costumes go up in smoke in seconds. Make sure your child's isn't one of them.
16) Stay away from homes with barking animals.
17) Bring home the haul and plan to eat every bite, but only AFTER it's been inspected by a parent! And don't eat it all in one night. Post-Halloween belly aches are no fun.
