April Fools’ Day is a day filled with jokes and pranks, which can be annoying but also fun, especially for kids. In honor of this day, here are some harmless and fun pranks that you can play on your kids. These pranks include having the Easter Bunny make an extra visit, coloring breakfast for a funny morning meal, dyeing milk blue, trying a toilet paper surprise, doing a cereal swap, adding googly eyes to fruit, placing fake bugs where the kids will notice them, using Jell-O as a juice prank, using bubble wrap, telling the kids you caught a mouse, trying a backward day, and having fun with frozen foods.
One prank you can play is having the Easter Bunny make an extra visit. You can rent an Easter Bunny costume for a friend or family member to dress up in and make a visit, filling up Easter eggs with candy, money, etc., and hiding them in the front yard. Another fun prank involves coloring breakfast for a funny morning meal by using food coloring to dye pancakes, waffles, or cream cheese. Dyeing milk blue with food coloring is another easy prank that can be done with food coloring, adding a surprising twist to the kids’ morning routine.
Other pranks include trying a toilet paper surprise by writing a message or drawing a spider on the toilet paper and writing “APRIL FOOLS” in big letters. You could also do a cereal swap, where you swap the bag of sugary cereal with a healthy cereal. Adding googly eyes to fruit and placing fake bugs where the kids will notice them are also fun and harmless pranks to play on April Fools’ Day. Using Jell-O as a juice prank can result in a solid surprise when the kids try to take a sip, and hiding bubble wrap around the house can lead to some fun popping and playing for the kids.
Another prank involves telling the kids you caught a mouse, only to reveal a toy mouse underneath a bowl, leaving your child relieved and happy with a new toy. Trying a backward day by wearing your clothes backward and acting like everything is normal can lead to some laughs from your kids. Finally, having fun with frozen foods by placing juice and cereal in the freezer the night before April Fools’ Day can result in a frozen breakfast surprise for the kids, followed by a delicious (unfrozen) breakfast. These harmless and fun pranks can add some laughter and excitement to April Fools’ Day for kids and parents alike.
