However, with every step of their fun and games, they are also prone to major accidents, injuries and disasters on a Halloween Night. Parents, it’s up to you to take care of your children so that they return home safe and sound after the night’s party. So here are 10 steps to check the safety of your children on Halloween Night:



10 Children’s Safety Measures For Halloween Night!



"Always let your child go 'Trick or Treating' with a familiar group and not alone. You can never doubt a 'kid’napper' who dresses like a scare-crow on Halloween.!"


1. While carving pumpkins for 'Jack O Lanterns', parents should either do it themselves or supervise children into using plastic or party knives instead of sharp kitchen knives.

2. Always let your child go 'Trick or Treating' with a familiar group and not alone. You can never doubt a 'kid’napper' who dresses like a scare-crow on Halloween.

3. Come to a mutual understanding on the route which will be decided for the group to go Trick or Treating and no alternate routes.

4. Ensure that every child in the group is familiar with the houses they will be visiting and not to entertain homes of strangers.

5. Unless accompanied by a parent or an elderly group leader is available, children should never get into any person’s house.

6. The costumes, wigs and other clothing materials used should not limit the child’s movement and must be fire- resistant.

7. Small reflectors can be attached to their dress so that their walk during the night is safe and clearly visible to all. Equip them with extra change for a phone call or a mobile, an umbrella and a flashlight.

8. Make sure your child dresses wisely with normal attire to protect themselves from the cold weather and also to avoid any problem that may arise if the Halloween costume has been destroyed or torn apart.

9. All toy weapons, gadgets or any other resources that is part of the costume must not be sharp, flammable, or harmful to others. Use fire- resistant, soft and safe resources to enjoy a Happy Halloween.

10. Never allow your children to light fireworks or bonfires. Keep them well away from all kinds of fiery celebrations to keep them from burns and other injuries to the body.
