Wally's Party Factory Halloween Safety Tips

Ennis, TX (PRWEB) October 27, 2011

Wally?s Party Factory, Card & Party Factory and Wicked Wally's Halloween Costumes, wishes everyone safe and fun trick-or-treating this Halloween season. A few pre-planning tips ensure the evening is all about treats and more treats:

Costumes:

????Try on costumes ahead of time and consider using flashlights, reflective necklaces
????????????????and glow sticks.

????Adding reflective tape to costumes and bags will also increase your visibility.
????Make sure shoes fit well and costumes are short enough to prevent tripping.
????Masks should fit securely and have eyeholes large enough for full vision.
????Hats and scarves should be attached securely to prevent slipping over eyes.

Trick-or-Treating:

????Only walk on sidewalks or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.
????Don?t trick-or-treat alone; walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
????Look both ways before crossing the street; use crosswalks when possible.
????Avoid entering homes of people you do not know.
????Avoid riding bicycles while trick or treating as costumes can catch in chains and
????????????????spokes.

????Carry cell phones in case of an emergency.

Decorating:

????Keep candles and Jack O' Lanterns away from doorsteps where costumes could
????????????????catch fire.

????Remove possible obstacles from lawns, steps and porches.
????Never leave a burning candle unattended and position candles away from curtains or
????????????????decorations.

Candy:

????Parents should inspect all candy. Look for unusual appearance or tiny tears in
????????????????wrappers. Throw away any unwrapped or loosely wrapped candy.

????Homemade items or baked goods should be discarded unless you personally know
????????????????who gave them to your child.

????Parents of small children should remove any choking hazards such as gum,
????????????????peanuts, hard candies, and small toys.

By thinking of safety first, you are able to enjoy Halloween with your friends and family and create memories that will last a lifetime!
