April Fool's Day Pranks

We can not believe it is already April 1st! It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating the new year. We have been so busy, but we wanted to take a breath to recognize this fun holiday. It can be absolutely hilarious to pull a good (harmless) prank on your kids and family.

Here are some of our favorite April Fools’ Day pranks:

• Use a small piece of tape to cover the sensor on the remote. They will not be able to change the TV channels . . . even with new batteries.

•  Put your little one’s favorite cereal in a bowl. Add milk and put it in the freezer for the entire night. Before serving it in the morning, add some fresh milk on top to hide that breakfast is frozen. Your child will dig in only to bang their spoon on it.

• If your kids are heavy sleepers, put them into their sibling’s bed and let them wake up in a different room or bed!

• Take a small marshmallow, put it inside one end of a straw to clog it. Put the straw in your kid’s favorite drink and see them struggle to get a sip.

• Place a bucket of water above your front door and tie a string to the door handle, so when someone walks in, they get soaked from above.

• Draw a mustache on your child’s face when they are in a deep sleep and watch them walk around with it in the morning until they look in the mirror.

• Unravel the toilet paper and write on, “Help! I’m trapped in a toilet paper factory.” Then roll it back up and wait for a family member to exit the restroom completely confused.

• Change the time on all of the clocks to a slightly different time.
