Halloween is such a memorable time for kids – and moms, too! From picking out the perfect costume to mapping out the best trick-or-treat route, it’s a night full of excitement and fun. At Rhea Lana’s, we love seeing families celebrate together, and we want to help make sure your night stays fun and safe.
When your kids find that just-right costume (maybe one they snagged at your local Rhea Lana’s event!), make sure it’s both adorable and practical. Look for lightweight materials and layers that won’t trip them up or make them overheat, depending on where you live. Adding reflective tape or glow sticks can help drivers see them after dark, keeping everyone visible and safe.
Before heading out, take a few minutes to plan your evening route. Stick to well-lit neighborhoods and sidewalks whenever possible. If your kids are old enough to go ahead a bit, set clear boundaries and a meeting point so you can easily reconnect. Remind your little ones to cross streets at corners and always look both ways. When the candy haul comes home, make the traditional “candy check” part of the fun. Spread everything out on the table together, sort, trade, and inspect. Toss any open or unwrapped pieces, and then let your kids enjoy their favorites!
Lighting is key on Halloween night. Flashlights and glow sticks aren’t just for decoration; they also help keep everyone safe! Give each child their own glow bracelet or flashlight, and if you’re pushing a stroller, add a clip-on light or reflective strip. For older kids trick-or-treating with friends, make sure they have a fully charged phone and a set check-in time. Location-sharing apps can offer peace of mind while allowing them a bit of independence.
At Rhea Lana’s, we believe these little moments – costume giggles, candy, and neighborhood adventures are what family memories are made of. With a little preparation, you can keep those moments joyful and worry-free. From all of us at Rhea Lana’s, we hope your family has a fun, safe, and sweet Halloween night!
