It’s that time of year. The flowers are blooming, the days are getting longer, and just around the corner someone is yelling, “April Fools!” I’ll admit, April Fools’ Day is not my favorite holiday. It originated hundreds of years ago, so I guess it’s stuck around for a reason, but I’ve never understood the hype.
However, as a mom with kids who are now old enough to understand what it is, I suppose I should be prepared! These five prank ideas are great to have in your back pocket as a mom, fun to share with your kids, or maybe you should be on the lookout for them if you have kids who might try to pull a prank on you!
1. Swap your donuts
Order a dozen donuts, and before your family sees them, swap them out with fruits and vegetables. When they open the box, they will be surprised to see that their sugary treats were replaced with healthy ones!
2. Jiggly juice
At breakfast, or maybe for after school snack, swap out your child’s usual drink of choice with a glass filled with Jello instead. They will be surprised when they try to take a sip and no liquid comes out!
3. Googly eyed-surprise
3.Add googly eyes to random objects all over the house, so that when your child wakes up in the morning, they are greeted by many faces! You can add them to food in the fridge, bathroom products, or even school supplies.
4. Minty cookie
Buy a pack of Oreos, scrape out the cream-filled centers, and replace with mint toothpaste. Whoever bites into an Oreo first will get a very minty surprise!
