Halloween Tips

Halloween is such a fun time for millions of children across the country. Unfortunately, there are thousands that end up in the emergency room due to preventable accidents.

So before you start picking out the perfect costume for your little goblins and begin gathering goodies; Mr. No-No has a couple of great safety tips that can help you to have a fun and safe Halloween.

Decking out the Pumpkin:
Have the little one's draw the design and you be their carving assistant
Let the little goblins push in the carvings (the eyes, nose, mouth, etc.)
You scrape the guts; they pull out the guts
Use battery operated artificial light inside the jack-o'-lantern

When Picking Out a Costume:
Pick a costume both you and your little ones can easily get in & out of
Wear bright colors (Add a splash of neon color to your costume if black)
Don't get Wands, swords, pistols, etc… (Kids can get hurt & you end up caring them anyway)

When Trick-or-Treating:
ALWAYS have them within view! Tell your little ones," If you can't see me, I can't see you"
Nothing should be in your child's hands except for their basket
Everyone should have a type of light stick on them at all times

Before the Sugar Rush:
Check ALL the Treats! Throwaway all suspicious and unwrapped candy
Completely sealed candies; Submerge your candy in a bowl of water… if you see air bubbles or wet candy, throw it away
Take treats to a court house or an airport and get it x-rayed if available

After the Sugar Rush:
Settling their tummies: Drink a glass of water or warm milk after filling up on candy
Brush teeth immediately after eating candy
Before bedtime do something relaxing; like read a good Halloween book
