Costume Safety Tips

• Children should carry a flashlight and their costumes should be bright-colored or have reflective tape to highlight them.
• Be sure all parts of the costume are labeled flame retardant.
• Costumes should not have trailing material or tails long enough to cause falls.
• Pointed objects such as swords and devils’ forks should be made of soft material.
• If your child wears a mask instead of make-up on their face, double check that the eye holes are large enough to see through clearly.
• Children should wear sturdy shoes and temperature appropriate clothing underneath their costumes.
