It's Halloween Week! Before the candy collecting begins, let's talk costumes.
Whether your child is dressing up as a princess, superhero, dinosaur, or whatever they finally settle on after changing their mind six times, we love to see the creativity!
But before everyone heads out the door, a few things are worth checking:
✅ Can they see? Masks, hats, and wigs shouldn't block their vision.
✅ Can they move? Make sure costumes aren't dragging on the ground, and shoes are comfortable enough to walk in.
✅ Can others see them? Reflective tape, glow sticks, or a small flashlight can help make little trick-or-treaters more visible after dark.
✅ Do they know the plan? Younger children should ALWAYS have an adult with them. Make sure you and your older kids have the same information! Know where they're going, who they're with, and when to come home.
And maybe give that costume a test run before Halloween night. It's better to find out your little dinosaur can't climb stairs at home.
Have fun, be safe, look after each other, and enjoy every minute of the Halloween magic!
