 Many parents worry about the safety of Halloween. I believe with parental
attention and participation it can be a fun time for the kids.
Here are a few safety tips for a great Halloween:
- Always accompany kids when trick or treating. If your kids
are older let them go to the door alone- they will feel like they are on their own.
- Only go to houses in your neighborhood or where you know the
residents.
- No matter how much they beg you, don't let the kids eat any
of the goodies until you get home and can inspect it first.
- If going out in the dark carry a couple of flashlights.
Everyone has to see where they are going.
- Talk to your children before you leave the house. Don't
scare them, but encourage them to walk, not run, and stay together during your rounds.
- Remember manners. Its good to say thank you and avoid
running across other people's lawns.
- Finally have fun. Maybe you would like to get into the
spirit of things and wear a little costume. A cowboy hat, a clown cap or funny glasses
will make the whole family laugh.
"The Best Halloween I Ever Had"
by Sue Spataro
 I remember the best Halloween I ever had. It was first grade,
1965. My teacher was Miss Treglia. She was my most favorite teacher in my life. Maybe this
is why Halloween still makes me smile. Let me tell you a more about what Halloween means
to me and also some important Halloween safety tips, so that your children's Halloween
will be special too!
The
Truth About Bats
  Do you think bats are scary? Do they all
drink blood and attack people? Are they as "blind as a bat"? The answers may be
surprising! We chatted with Kim Williams at the Organization for Bat Conservation about
bats and she shared some fascinating information about the true nature of bats,
the importance of creating bat houses and how you can make your own bat house!!
Halloween bag
Halloween bag will make sure that all that candy
comes home in one piece. I got this idea after years of trying to catch candy coming from
the bottom of ripped bags while trick or treating with the kids. The bags can be reused
every year and are sturdy enough for the most aggressive trick or treater. There are many
ways of decorating the bags from creative stitching to fabric painting. This craft is
perfect for all kids whether it is done at home or in school. |
