Halloween Safety Tips

Next to Christmas, Halloween is probably the most favorite holiday for kids, and as mentioned, your friends at Apollo! With candy, costumes, and spooky decorations, there’s not a lot you can do to keep your kids calm! But trick-or-treating can be a little scary for parents with all the ghosts and goblins out on the streets — you never know what could be lurking around the corner. Here are a few tips to keep your kids safe and to let you relax and enjoy it all:

Choose costumes that:

• are flame-resistant
• have masks that don’t block their vision
• aren’t too long (so they don’t trip and fall)
• have props such as swords that are made of soft materials
• have something reflective on them (so drivers can see them crossing the street)

While Trick or Treating make sure to:

• walk only on the sidewalks
• obey traffic signals
• only walk on well-lit streets
• bring a flashlight
• save all the treats to eat at home

Halloween is a fun and exciting time – enjoy it. It only comes once a year! Your friends here at Apollo Insurance Services wish you a Safe & Happy Halloween!
