Halloween Safety Tips for Kids from Energizer

Disclosure: This post about Halloween Safety Tips is made possible as part of a sponsored conversation from the Motherhood and Energizer.  However all opinions are 100% mine.

Halloween will be here before you know it and now is the time to start your plan of attack, so to speak. It is time to head out and find the perfect costume, plan the route you will take while trick-or-treating and teaching your children about safety for the night. The kids already have their costumes picked out and our small town does a little carnival and trick-or-treating event to help keep everyone safe. Not mention there is some distance between some houses out here int eh middle of nowhere. Energizer has some great safety tips that they want to share with you as you get ready for Halloween. 

 

Energizer Halloween Safety Tips

1.) Plan a trick-or-treat route ahead of time. Create a route that avoids major intersections, but does have safe crosswalks and sidewalks. If there are no sidewalks, be sure to walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Always look both ways before crossing any street.
2.) Find new ways to celebrate the holiday. Seek out neighborhood “trunk-or-treats” as alternatives to traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating. These events are great for younger children or in neighborhoods that might be difficult to navigate on Halloween night.
3.) Keep a portable light on hand (or head). As the sun sets, you don’t want to be caught in the dark. Energizer portable lights ensure you’re ready to hit the streets on Halloween night:

• Energizer_® LED 2 in 1 light Fusion Flashlights – Compact and versatile, Energizer Light Fusion Technology products are convenient, water resistant and provide impressively bright long lasting light—easily seen by drivers and other pedestrians.

• Headlights – Powerful Energizer LED headlights are lightweight and convenient – perfect for keeping hands free. That way, you may hold your child’s hand, while their other clutches the ever-important candy container. The headlight can even add to or be a part of a costume!

 4.) Pick the right costume. Choose lightly colored costumes, while avoiding head-to-toe dark selections. Make sure the costume fits properly and shoes are comfortable. If possible, avoid masks and opt for face paint so that vision is not impaired.

 5.) Walk, don’t run. Take your time and walk; don’t run from house to house on Halloween night. Use Energizer portable lights to be aware of decorations or other obstructions in yard and on sidewalks to avoid trips and falls.

 6.) Be selective. Only visit well-lit houses and avoid stopping at dark houses. Remind your children to stay in groups and never accept rides from strangers or enter homes without a parent or guardian.Charge your devices. Make sure to charge cell phone and ensure that your flashlight has fresh batteries. Energizer_® MAX® with Power Seal Technology is long-lasting and no leaks guaranteed*. Use your cell phone for necessary communications (and adorable photos), otherwise keep it in a purse or pocket to avoid distractions. (*Or we will replace your device. See www.energizer.com/guarantee for more information.)
