Let's Laugh! 9 Perfect Pranks to Play on Your Family

0329_APRIL FOOLS DAYApril Fools’ Day is coming!  Some good laughter may help break up any tension at home these days. After all, who doesn’t love a good prank? Have some fun (and help your kids learn to laugh at themselves) with a few of our favorite, family-friendly pranks! We’ve got you covered from morning til’ night with these silly surprises sure to have your family rolling.
  1. Solid Cereal – Pour your child’s cereal and milk the night before and place the bowl in the freezer. Serve it up in the AM and watch as your kiddo tries to chisel their way through breakfast!
  1. Jello Juice – Swap a regular glass of juice with Jello of the same color (insert a straw when you put it in the fridge to set), like these from honeyandlime.com.[caption id="attachment_5461" align="alignnone" width="1024"]Photo credit: https://cdn.instructables.com/ Photo credit: https://cdn.instructables.com/[/caption]
  1. Potty Mouth – Unravel the roll. Don't worry, it won't be wasted!  Use a marker to write a funny joke or sweet note (or maybe just a reminder to wash their hands with soap for at least 20 seconds!).
  1. Whoopee! – This timeless classic never gets old! Slip one under the pad of your child’s kitchen chair or stroller, like scarymommy.com.Whoopee
  1. Eyes on You – Dig into your craft supplies! Googly eyes are great for a giggle. Add them to all the foods in the fridge and carry it through to the contents of your kiddo’s lunch or dinner too!
  1. Lunch Surprise – Speaking of lunch, won’t your little one be surprised to find that their water bottle is full of Sprite, their chip bag is full of a different kind of chips (slice the bottom of the bag and tape it back up), and gummy worms are stuck to their apple? Liven up a family room or backyard picnic with these perfectly tasty pranks on Blogspot.com!Prank Lunch
  1. Mail It In – If one of your kids usually gets the mail out of the box, surprise the socks off them by placing a furry friend or large plastic spider on the stack.
  1. Devilish Desserts – Keep the pranks coming after dinner by offering a dessert that’s not what it seems! A plate of brown letter “E”s or “chocolate chip” cookies that are actually made of mashed potatoes and black beans, like these from our friends at Blogspot.com should do the trick (but you’d better back it up with a real dessert, ‘cause messing with a kids nom noms is serious stuff!):[caption id="attachment_5463" align="alignnone" width="638"]Prank Cookies 2 Photo credit: http://4jacqs.blogspot.com[/caption]
  1. Short Sheet – A day of pranks wouldn’t be complete without short sheeting your kids’ beds. Start by tucking the top of the flat sheet in under the top of the mattress, then fold the bottom of the sheet halfway up the bed and tuck the sides in.
