If your kids are old enough to enjoy a good, clean prank, have some fun this year! The beginning of April is right around the corner and you have a chance to get lots of laughs out of your children by playing some fun tricks on them. Here are a few ideas.
Breakfast Surprise: Fix your kids breakfast foods that you can transform into a different color with food coloring. Make their scrambled eggs green, turn their milk blue, put red food coloring in their oatmeal, etc. They'll get a nice surprise when they wake up!
Shoes Everywhere: This will surely get a lot of giggles. Gather up a bunch of your family members' shoes and place them all around the house in odd places. You can tape some to the wall, put flowers in one like a vase, put their toothbrushes in a shoe, whatever creative ideas you can come up with to make them laugh all around the house!
Googly Eyes: This will make everyone laugh, not just your kids. Grab a cheap bag of googly eyes from the store and stick them in funny places. The face of the baby on a box of diapers, on the T.V., on the lamp shades, on their favorite DVD case, on the bottom of their drinking cup, on their school books. Basically you can replace the eyes of anything around your house. This one might get laughs for days until they are all found!
Toilet Paper Notes: If you have some time on your hands, switch out the kids' toilet paper roll with one that you have written goofy (or sweet!) notes all over. Each time they roll some out they will get a surprise!
Fake Critters: This is a classic, but it's always funny! Put plastic bugs all around the house in places where you know they will see them. You may want to only do this with your kids who aren't really scared of bugs so it won't upset them!
April 1st is a good opportunity to tap into your creativity and sense of humor for an entire day of laughs. And it will also give your kids an opportunity to use theirs!
