My kids love to go trick or treating and I always go with them and stand just a few feet away. I know at some point ( they are now 10 and 7) they are not going to want me to do that but for now they are stuck with me.)
I do worry about safety at Halloween and have found a brilliant safety guide for kids over at All Fancy Dress on how to keep kids safe when trick or treating. My favorite tip is to wear something that isn’t going to trip them up and that they can easily go to the toilet in! I suppose when kids get older different safety rules such as not going to houses where lights are off and to make sure they are visible (glow sticks /reflective tape) might be a good idea.)
Did you know kids are more likely to be hit by a car at Halloween than at any other time? I suppose its because they are out in the dark and because they are excited and distracted.
We have our trick or treating all planned and A has a fabulous new costume.
Isn’t it a lovely witch costume! It is from All Fancy Dress and beautiful quality She is super excited. I have to say her pet cat is a bit scary though!
Made me smile that your kids were 10 and 70 :). Love the costume, the cat is fab. Really good safety tips too
