My family loves to celebrate every holiday including April Fools Day. While I do not like being on the receiving end of practical jokes, I believe it is my duty as a wife and a mother to pull one over on my kids and husband every year. That's fair, right?!
I am here to make your day just as special as ours. I have compiled a list of my favorite April Fools Day pranks that are not only easy but kid friendly too.
Toothpaste Oreos!
Remove the frosting from inside the Oreos and fill them with toothpaste. Offer them as an after-school snack and watch your kids squirm when they take their first bite.
Sunny Side-up?
What could be better than a delicious egg in the morning? How about a peach atop a flattened spread of Greek yogurt?! Your hubby (or kids) will think they are eating an egg, until he takes that first bite! Watch as his face begins to pucker!
TV Trouble!
Before the kids attempt to turn on the television, place a piece of clear tape across the area that sends the signal to the TV. You can also place a piece of tape across the TV's receiver. Watch as the kids go crazy over a broken remote. They may even try changing the batteries without even noticing the tape and BAM! "Mom! Our TV remote is broken!"
Solid Juice!
While the kids are sleeping the night before, make Jello inside a clear glass and stick a straw in it. When the Jello hardens it will look like juice. That first sip will be a doozie!
Brownies Anyone?
Ask the kids if they want a brownie and when they say yes offer them a plate full of brown E's.
Balloon Pillow!
Before the kids go to bed, remove their pillows from their pillow cases. Partially inflate a few balloons and insert them inside the cases for one last HOORAH! before they end their fun-filled April Fools Day.
Spilled Milk!
You may need to prepare this one ahead of time. Squeeze some Elmers Glue onto a non-stick surface. When it is set, peel the glue off the surface and place it on your child's (or husband's) computer. You may just see them cry over spilled milk!
Chocolate Grapes?
Replace old Easter chocolates with grapes. Give them as an afterschool treat or place them in the kids' lunchbox for a fun lunchtime prank.
Balloon Avalanche!
While your child is sleeping, inflate a dozen or so balloons. Cut open two large garbage sacks and tape them across your child's bedroom door. Start dropping the balloons down through the opening in the top until all balloons are inside the sacks. The next morning when your child opens his door he will be caught in the middle of a balloon avalanche. HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!
