With fun costumes and delicious candy, what more could a preschooler want? If this is your first time taking your preschooler out for trick-or-treating, here are a few things to go over to ensure that it\u2019s an activity they look forward to for many Octobers to come!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Picking the costume<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make sure to pick a costume that your little one is comfortable in and is appropriate for the weather. If it\u2019s going to be a chilly Halloween, choose a costume that has layers, or bring a jacket for them just in case. You don\u2019t want your child to overheat either, so make sure to check the weather and pick something adaptable. If this is your preschooler\u2019s first time wearing a costume for a long time, it\u2019s best to stay away from face paint or anything too complicated. Let them help pick out the costume, and keep in mind\u2014it\u2019s supposed to be a fun way to express themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prime Time for Trick-or-Treating<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trick-or-treating is almost always a night time activity, but your little ones still need their rest! Many families trick-or-treat near dusk. If needed, plan your dinner earlier so you have plenty of time to trick-or-treat to your child\u2019s content while still leaving enough time for a bath and appropriate bedtime if it\u2019s a school night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make it a Group Activity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are comfortable with the idea, invite your child\u2019s friends and parents to come along. Pretty much everything is more fun with friends, but be sure you take into account your local restrictions on gatherings and social distancing. Play it safe by wearing a mask&#8211;it adds to the Halloween fun anyway!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monitor Candy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many parents agree that it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to Halloween candy. Trick-or-treat in a familiar area, and pay attention for any strange behavior while your child interacts with strangers. Before they go candy crazy or decide to snack while they trick-or-treat, monitor their collection and look out for partially opened items, labels you don\u2019t recognize, or potentially any baked goods, especially if your child has an allergy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/charlotte\/2020\/09\/08\/preschoolers-and-homework\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preschoolers and Homework<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkidscharlotte.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Charlotte<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Charlotte, North Carolina?
