It is safer than a loose-fitting mask that can obstruct a child s vision. If a mask is worn, be certain it fits securely. Cut the eye holes large enough for full vision. Make costumes short enough to avoid tripping. Dress children in shoes that fit.
Larger sizes can lead to tripping and falling.
Allow children to carry only flexible knives, swords or other props. Anything they carry could injure them if they fall. Teach children not to cut across yards. Lawn ornaments and clotheslines are hidden hazards in the dark. Tell your children to stay on the sidewalk at all times.
