Safety and educational resources for Halloween celebrations

As Halloween preparations continue, safety guidelines emphasize caution when using cosmetic products on children. Experts recommend avoiding makeup for children under three years old and suggest checking for ingredient lists, expiration dates, and the absence of fragrances to prevent allergic reactions. Special care should be taken with nail polish due to potentially dangerous solvents, and decorative fake blood should be avoided for children as it is often formulated for theatrical special effects.

In educational settings, new resources have been introduced to integrate Halloween into the classroom. These include character-creation templates that use dice to help students design unique monsters, fostering imagination and drawing skills. Additionally, inclusive activity notebooks featuring pictograms have been developed for primary school students to support reading, writing, mathematics, and attention through accessible visual aids.
