Halloween is nearly here and kids big and small are all trying to figure out just what they are going to “dress up” as, or what character they will be for October’s Fright Night.
The possibilities are endless, and I’m sure that the young ones will change their minds at least a dozen times or more.
What shouldn’t change though, is the need for safety, while our kids are out there having their ghoulishly good times.
Safety doesn’t have to spoil the fun, rather it is meant to increase the fun our kids will have, without the heartaches that are due to accidents or carelessness that can happen, with the excitement of the evening.
I know from years of watching my own children trick or treating, that most kids don’t become careless just for fun, rather they are caught up in the excitement of being with their friends and all the fun of trick or treating in their own neighbourhoods or ones further north, south east or west of where they call home.
Parents’ on their part for keeping their children safe, can and should make some costume adjustments, to increase their children’s visibility when they are gadding about!
It’s not hard to do, and the outcome will make you and your children relax just a little bit, so that enjoyment is the key to the whole evening of revelry.
Here is just a small list of items to help you and your children make the evening a roaring success.
These are shoe laces, but they can be woven into a hat, used in a wig, or “hairdo”, Braided into a necklace or used as shoe laces. The possibilities are endless and you can use your imagination or your child’s imagination to find just where these would be best suited.
With a hundred glow in the dark bracelets, all your children and their friends can be seen without too much fuss. A great idea that will keep them safe and seen!
They don’t even have to be used as bracelets, but can be formed and shaped to add an extra “touch” of fashion or a futuristic look!
