Avoid high-heeled or oversized shoes. Keep costumes short enough to prevent tripping. Any props such as swords should be flexible. Use light colors or reflective tape to ensure your child can be seen easily. Have your child carry a flashlight or light stick to increase visibility.
Masks can obstruct vision.
Stay in familiar neighborhoods. Treats should only be accepted in the doorway. Never let your child go in the house. Walk on the sidewalk if there is one or else on the left side of the street. Cross the street only at corners.
