Tips for a Safe and Fun Spooktober
When bringing safety considerations into concern while participating and enjoying in Spooktober especially the Halloween events and activities other measures need be undertaken. First of all, concerning the choice of costumes, one should take into consideration their visibility and wearers’ ability to move; the latter is especially important for the hosts and guests for the evening parties. Where applicable, the use of reflective material in clothing and mask selection whereby the specific mask does not hinder the user’s sight are some of the ways to go about it. In addition, for avoiding such misfortune, wearing of costumes that do not have long trailing fabric parts will greatly help.
There is a second very important area to tackle and it is related to Halloween decorations. Although such items are quite intriguing indeed (especially, the realistically terrifying non-living models that even the most experienced Halloween visitors will not be able to distinguish from the real thing), they are also rather dangerous. Make sure paths to the front door are unobstructive; this includes items that naturally fall such as leaves and items that we place such as ornaments. Additionally, be mindful of the types of lighting you use: candy and chocolates are sweet and good to eat, but they can spoil your teeth; gentle is equally sweet as well as beneficial but it is not what you would want to eat! In case you should use the candles ensure that the candles are placed in firm stands that are beyond the reach of the children.
To the residents in the community that celebrates Halloween, it is recommended that one takes part in trick or treating. This has been a must-watch Spooktober custom that provides children the unique opportunity to costume up and gain candy. If your home is open to trick-or-treaters offer them good and wholesome treats- candies that are commercially packed instead of homemade treats.
Last of all, make sure that all those people involved in trick or treating, both the kids and the other members of the society, are safe. This entails the use of flashlights or any reflector item, movement only on well lit roads, no crossing of yards at night. Parents should also control how much candy the children are taking; it is wiser to avoid them consumed on the streets, and instead wait until they are back home to check whether it has been contaminated or not.
