- Establish a return time home so they aren’t out too late.
- Tell them not to eat their candy until they get home…that way you can control the sugar rush!
- Put reflective material on their costumes so they can be easily seen by cars traveling down neighborhood roads.
For kiddos…
- Bring a flashlight! Keep it held down to your feet so you don’t shine it at a driver’s eyes.
