Simple Tips For Having A Safe Halloween in Fullerton

If you have children, then you already know Halloween safety and care are the most important things about the holiday. If you don’t have children, putting some thought into the topic will help parents around your neighborhood sleep easy this holiday. Here are a few ideas for creating a safe environment around your apartment.

 

Guard your pets: pets can scare easily with all the commotion of people knocking at your door. If you have a dog or cat, keep them in another room and away from the trick-or-treaters. You wouldn’t want a dog running up and biting a child.

 

Watch the candles: instead of using candles in your jack-o-lanterns and risking a fire hazard, use apartment safe LED lights instead. The small piece of lighting can be purchased at any .99 Cents store and they continue to be a safe alternative to actual candles.

 

Give safe candy: when you are purchasing your candy, keep safety in mind. Some kids have peanut allergies, while younger children might not be able to chew hard candy. Go with something children of all ages can enjoy.

 

Fullerton Living: Pumpkin Carving Tips

Halloween is almost here, which means two things: pumpkins and candy. If you are planning to decorate this year, you’ll need a scary pumpkin. Here are a few tips for carving them.

 

Spray water: once you cut the pumpkin, it begins to die. So keep a spray bottle handy and keep the pumpkin wet as often as possible.

 

Get a template: there is nothing wrong with getting a little design help–not all of us are artists. So grab a template from Google and make something great.

 

Refrigerate it: a carved pumpkin will only last 10 days or so. But if you are looking to add a few days to it’s shelf life, cover it in plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for eight hours right after you are done carving. The cold will keep it alive longer.
