Safer Halloween and low-key fall fun

You know your child best—pick what fits, skip the rest, and keep the joy. Here are simple ideas and links to a few of our favorite past TF guides.

Trick-or-treating, simplified

• Costumes that move with you (breathable layers, comfy shoes)

• Shorter routes, earlier hours, well-lit areas

• Pre-wrapped treats only, or try a fun candy-swap at home

• Teal Pumpkin = non-food treats welcome and inclusive

• Low-energy options: porch “wave-by,” driveway trick-or-treat, movie-night + treat buckets
