Never cross between parked cars.<\/li>\n<li>Choose a costume that fits properly and does not drag on the ground, so children can walk without tripping. Use face paint instead of a mask whenever possible to keep their view clear.<\/li>\n<li>Help children be seen: add reflective tape or stickers to costumes and bags, choose light-coloured costumes when possible, and carry a flashlight or glow stick.<\/li>\n<li>Keep warm and dry.<\/li>\n<li>Older children going without an adult should stay with their group and stick to familiar streets.<\/li>\n<li>Stay outside while trick-or-treating, never enter someone\u2019s home.<\/li>\n<li>Save treats until you get home, and have an adult check all Halloween sweets before children eat them.<\/li>\n<li>Drivers: slow down and watch carefully for children at intersections and along the roadside.
