🎃 Happy Halloween from IMPACT Parks! 🎃 As kids gear up to trick-or-treat, it’s all about having fun and staying safe! Here are some tips to keep your little ones safe this spooky season: 🦇 Visibility is Key – Make sure costumes are bright or add reflective tape, especially if you’ll be out after dark. Flashlights and glow sticks make for fun and functional accessories too! 👻 Stay Playground Safe – If stopping by parks or playgrounds on Halloween night, remind kiddos to keep an eye out for any obstacles or uneven surfaces in costumes that may limit visibility. 🍬 Check the Treats – After all the fun, inspect candy before eating, especially with younger kids. Let’s make it a Halloween to remember—fun, safe, and full of treats! #HappyHalloween #PlaygroundSafety #HalloweenSafety #TrickorTreat #IMPACTParks

Wishing everyone a happy & safe Halloween! As you enjoy the thrills and chills, remember to keep safety in mind—whether you’re trick-or-treating or on the road. Here’s to a night filled with fun, treats, and safe adventures! 🚗 Drive Safely – Watch your speed, especially in neighborhoods. Kids are excited and may not always stay on the sidewalks! 👀 Stay Alert – Put phones away and focus on the road. Increased foot traffic means staying aware of your surroundings is more important than ever. 🎒 Be Visible – Use headlights early and keep a lookout for trick-or-treaters who may be harder to see in the dark. 🍭 For Trick-or-Treaters – Wear costumes that are visible and to use reflective materials when possible. #community #halloween #trickortreat #drivesafe #holiday #communitysafety #safety #trafficcontrol #trafficmanagement #construction #family #tips #safetytip

Halloween is just around the corner, and at Brighton Our World, we want to ensure that every child has a fun and safe trick-or-treating experience. Here are some helpful tips for families to keep in mind this Halloween: 1. Stay in Groups: Always trick-or-treat in groups and accompany young children. There’s safety in numbers, and it’s more fun too! 2. Plan Your Route: Choose a familiar route in well-lit areas. Avoid dark streets and unfamiliar neighborhoods. 3. Check Costumes: Make sure costumes are safe and comfortable. Use face paint instead of masks that can obstruct vision, and ensure costumes are short enough to prevent tripping. 4. Glow in the Dark: Equip your trick-or-treaters with glow sticks, reflective tape, or flashlights. Being visible is key to staying safe. 5. Inspect Treats: Always check candy and treats for tampering before children start snacking. Discard anything that looks suspicious. 6. Follow Traffic Rules: Use crosswalks and sidewalks. Remind children to look both ways before crossing the street and to be aware of their surroundings. 7. Respect Boundaries: Only visit homes with porch lights on, and never enter a stranger’s home or garage. With these tips, families can enjoy a safe and memorable Halloween. Have fun, stay safe, and don’t forget to share your costumes with us! #SafeHalloween #TrickOrTreating #BrightonOurWorld #HalloweenSafetyTips

I’m really excited about this year’s Halloween workshops! 🎃 Last year was such a memorable experience working with our largest one being the Pumpkin Carving workshop for 50 people at the same time. It’s amazing how much Halloween has grown in Australia, and it’s not just about the spooky fun—here are a few reasons why it’s become so popular: Global Influence: Hollywood has played a huge role in introducing Halloween traditions through movies and TV shows, sparking interest in everything from costumes to pumpkin carving. Retail Push: Retailers have embraced Halloween, offering themed decorations, costumes, and candy, making it easier to celebrate. Social Media: Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have popularised Halloween with creative ideas for costumes, parties, and decorations. Community Connection: Halloween is a great excuse for people to come together—whether it’s families trick-or-treating or colleagues enjoying festive team-building activities. We’ve got a busy season ahead with interstate workshops, and if your team is looking to do something creative and fun, now’s the perfect time to get in touch! 🎃👻

We wish everyone a safe and #spooky Halloween! We wish all those who are Trick-or-Treating tonight a safe night of fun! For homeowners welcoming spooky visitors tonight, here are some handy tips:  🎃 Keep your entry way clear - costumes can compromise sight lines and can get caught on extra clutter  🎃 Keep the Lights on - Turn on exterior lighting for steps and pathways (of course turn them off if you aren't wanting visitors, or if you run out of treats)  🎃 Remove Debris - slippery leaves, sticks, outdoor furniture, children's toys etc  🎃 Keep pets inside - Not all animals enjoy Halloween as much as we do! Costumes and masks could make an otherwise friendly pet very nervous.  🎃 Skip the Candles - Find an alternative to candles for your Jack-O'-Lanterns, or if you are using candles, don't leave them unsupervised  🎃 If you're driving during prime Trick-or-Treating time stay alert, especially in residential areas, excited families can pop out of anywhere! #MutualInsurance #HalloweenSafety #staysafe #trickortreat

Happy #ThinkAboutItThursday 👻🎃💀 Every October, we transform our house into a Halloween wonderland. For three days, we carefully place decorations, lay out extension cords and spot lights, and create a festive display that’s become a highlight for our neighborhood. People often ask me, "Why go to all this trouble? Doesn’t it take a lot of time and effort?" Yes, it does take time, but for us, it’s about something much bigger than just the decorations. We do it for our boys — to give them an experience they’ll remember, to see the joy in their eyes as the lights flicker on, and to create a world of imagination right outside our door. But it’s also for our neighbors, for the families that drive by and smile, even just for a moment. In the hustle and bustle of life, I like to think that our efforts can provide a little spark of joy in someone’s day. The lessons here go far beyond Halloween. It’s about choosing to create joy, even when it takes effort. Life, much like the process of decorating, can be full of work, but it’s what you do with that work that defines the experience. Think about it: 🏋️♂️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 - It takes us three full days to set up the display, and sure, it can be exhausting. But anything worth doing requires time and energy. Whether it’s creating a moment for our kids or working toward personal goals, the effort I invest becomes a gift to others and a source of fulfillment for me. 📷 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 - When I’m dragging everything downstairs from the attic, it’s easy to think about how much work it is. But I remind myself who we’re doing it for. Those smiles I see—both from my family and the neighbors—are worth every minute. Life is the same; when you focus on how your actions affect others, it transforms even the most mundane tasks into something meaningful. 😍 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 - I know that years from now, our kids might not remember the exact decorations, but they’ll remember how they felt. That’s what we’re building—memories. And it’s a reminder for me in everything I do: it’s the moments we create for the people we care about that truly matter. For me, Halloween decorations are my way of spreading joy. For you, it might be something completely different. The key is to find that thing you love to do, that brings joy to you and those around you, and give it your all. What you create in the world will always come back to you in the form of smiles, gratitude, and moments that matter.

👻🎃 Making it an Inclusive Halloween 🎃👻 This Halloween, let’s ensure kids of all abilities can have a safe and enjoyable experience. Here are some extra steps to create an inclusive celebration: Quiet Zones: If you’re hosting an event, set up a quiet space where kids with sensory sensitivities can take a break from noise and excitement. Clear Pathways: Keep sidewalks, driveways, and pathways clear for easy navigation, especially for kids using mobility aids. Assistive Decorations: For those who may find traditional scares overwhelming, use friendly, non-jumping decorations with gentle lighting and sound options. Buddy System: Encourage a buddy system, pairing children with a friend or family member who can assist and help them feel comfortable and included. Halloween should be for everyone! A few small adjustments go a long way to make it a magical night. 🎃 #InclusiveHalloween #TrickOrTreatForAll #AccessibleHalloween #HalloweenForEveryone
