For many people, autumn events like Halloween and Harvest Day are fun times to dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, attend parties, and eat yummy treats. These events are also opportunities to provide nutritious snacks, get physical activity, and focus on safety.<\/p>\n

Below are tips to help make the festivities fun and safe for trick-or-treaters and party guests.<\/p>\n

Going trick-or-treating?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nSwords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nAvoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nFasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nExamine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats you eat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nHold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. Always WALK and don\u2019t run from house to house.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nAlways test make-up in a small area first. Remove it before bedtime to prevent possible skin and eye irritation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nLook both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nLower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nOnly walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nWear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nEat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nEnter homes only if you\u2019re with a trusted adult.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alphabet<\/td>\nNever walk near lit candles or luminaries. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
