Going out trick or treating might be a new experience for you and your toddler (especially if this is your first child). Making the most of this time by playing it safe by using some of these Halloween safety tips.
- Use reflective tape on your toddlers costume, or choose lighter colors that can be noticed in the dark. If you are pushing a stroller add reflective tape to that too.
- Give your toddler a glow stick to hold, or wear around their neck. Parent supervision is always required. This would be for your “older” toddlers, little ones might try to chew on the glow stick (bad idea)
- Watch for the length of your toddlers costume, you wouldn’t want them tripping and falling down. Also make sure the costume is flame-retardant.
- Only go trick or treating to homes where you know the occupants. Also check with your local malls and parks to see if they are hosting any special events on Halloween.
- Buy or make a trick or treat bag that will be deep enough for the candy not to spill out and easy for your toddler to hold on too.
- Check all candy before letting your toddler eat any. Throw away suspicious or opened candy
- Have fun, take pictures, and create some special memories!

Even though Halloween is another month away, there is no better time to start thinking about what your toddler is going to wear.
Really, you have 2 options when it comes to toddler costumes.
Your first option is to buy your costume. However, you need to buy early because those cute little sizes sell out fast!!
This year it was easy for us to decide what our bumblebee was going to wear…She loves Princesses and only this Cinderella costume would do-
I was lucky enough to score this through the Disney Store on sale for $24.99….not bad
In fact I bought a bunch of stuff at the Disney Store at 80% for their Labor Day Sale (Saving for Christmas).
If your toddler loves Disney and you are on a budget, you gotta check out their sales!!
Your other option is to make your toddlers costume. A friend of mine has compiled an eBook of over 90 costumes that you can make for your toddler, or any age child. The best part is you can use this eBook year after year to save on Halloween costumes. If you have multiple children this can get expensive. These costumes are also no sew! So if you like the personal touch when it comes to your little ones make sure to check out this eBook.
