April Fool’s Day is Wednesday and if you want to get back at your kiddos for all the tricks they play during the year, here are a few easy and mostly FREE and fun prank ideas for kids!

~After everyone goes to bed on 3/31, turn as many things upside down as you can- including framed pictures, clocks, chairs and toys. When the family wakes up in the morning, they’ll do a double-take and let the laughter begin!

~ Freeze a bowl of cereal with milk the night before & watch your kids try to dig in!

~ Make instant Jell-O according to package directions, except pour it into juice glasses with straws and let it set up over night. Your kids will think it’s juice but then they will also get to eat Jell-O, which is a fun treat!

~ If you have ceiling fans in your kids’ bedrooms, use a hole punch to make a ton of confetti. Place it on top of the fan blades & it will “rain” confetti when they turn on their ceiling light. Plus, then they have to vacuum their own room!

~ Put a few drops of food coloring in the bottom of a cereal bow & cover it with cereal. When the milk is poured in the bowl, it will change color!

~ Set out a mixed bowl of Skittles and plain M&M’s!

~ Remove the caps from the shampoo or conditioner bottles & cover the opening with plastic wrap. Replace the caps & wait outside the bathroom door to hear their frustration!

~ Leave the plastic wrap on the American cheese on your kid’s sandwich!

~ If you have a chocolate fanatic in your house, use brown construction to cut out several “E” shapes, put them in a pan, cover with aluminum foil, and tell them “there’s a pan of Brown E’s on the counter!”

~ If you have snack bag sized chips for your children’s lunches, open the bags from the bottom & switch out the snacks. Cheetos become Lays, Fritos become Ruffles, etc. Then tape the bottom of the bag closed & your kids will have a confusing lunch!

~ This last idea is for your tween or teen’s! Get ahold of their phone and set up keyboard shortcuts. Then, for example, every time they text the word “the,” it would automatically change to “MY MOM ROCKS”! You can really use your imagination with this one and personalize it to be the most fun for your family!
