Halloween treats and a little something extra too
Halloween is a great holiday for kids and I know many adults who still enjoy it as much as the kids do. But Halloween is also to great opportunity to reach the children and their parents in your neighborhood. Along with that treat, consider handing out a little something extra too. There is a lot of emphasis on “Halloween Safety” so put a little CPS spin on it! Here are a few ideas for possible handouts:
The 5-Step Test flyer from SafetyBeltSafe, USA: www.carseat.org/Boosters/630.htm
The rear-facing brochure from CPSafety: http://www.cpsafety.com/PDFfiles/RearFacingBrochure.pdf
My “Top 10 Tips” handout: top-10-tips-for-keeping-kids-safe-halloween-handout Feel free to use this one if you want to. You can include your name, title and contact info at the bottom if you’re a CPS technician. You can also easily tweak it to use for other situations.
If you have CPS business cards, attach one to your handout. If you don’t, you can always just handwrite your contact info.
Have a Happy & Safe Halloween!

What a great idea. I may pass out fliers tonight at our church’s truck or treat event!
Oh, I wish we had truck or treat tonight.
I wish you had posted this YESTERDAY.
I would have found a way to incorporate fliers into the treats I left for Ruthie’s Preschool!
Sorry Kat! I meant to post it yesterday but I didn’t have the time to finish it until this morning. Yesterday was just a little crazier than usual around here.
Holly or Julie – you’re going to have to fill me in. What is a truck or treat event?
I did this last year (a one-page, two-sided handout with the 5 step test on one side and “How Long Should Babies Ride Facing the Rear?” from SBSUSA. I folded them up inside treat bags of candy. I wasn’t organized enough to do it this year, though. *blushing*
