2. Color breakfast for interesting morning meals
A little food coloring can go a long way in making a fun April Fool’s joke. The options here are endless. Dye pancakes, waffles, and cream cheese with food coloring. Divide the dough according to the color you want.
And there’s always the classic green eggs and ham.
3. Dye it milk blue
Blue milk is another easy April Fool’s prank you can make using food coloring.

Add food coloring to a glass of milk so kids can drink the milk or put the milk in their cereal.
4. Try a toilet paper surprise
Remove the toilet paper from the toilet and loosen it a little. You can also write a message on paper or draw a spider for a spooky surprise. Next, write “APRIL FOOLS” in large letters on the paper.
If you want to take it to the next level, Amazon sells “untearable” toilet paper. This could be a funny prank for older children. However, be prepared for them to ask you for a different role.
5. Replace the serial number
Fill the box with your favorite sweet cereal and replace the bag with a healthy cereal.

6. Add googly eyes to the fruit
This is perfect for large fruits such as apples and oranges.
Collect fruits and paste them into googly eyes.
When your child opens the fridge, they’ll be greeted by fruit. If you really want to have fun with a silly face, stick strings in place of a smile or hair.
7. Place fake bugs where kids can see them.
Creepy crawlies everywhere are sure to make kids jump. Place it on the counter, on the arm of the sofa, or anywhere else you can see it.
Make sure to choose one made of plastic so you know it’s not the real thing.
8. Use jelly as a juice prank
When you put jelly in a cup, it looks like cup juice.

When your child takes a sip, a strong juice comes out. The best part of this restaurant is that you can enjoy delicious desserts. Therefore, there is no need to feel too guilty about pranks.
9. Use bubble wrap, bubble wrap, and more bubble wrap.
Hide bubble wrap under the carpet in your house for the kids to walk around with.
Once your kids realize they can play with bubble wrap, watch them dance on the rug. Win, win!
10. Tell the children, “I caught (Mickey) Mouse!”
This falls into the category of classic pranks, along with whoopee cushions and putting sugar in a salt shaker, but it’s still a good one.
Suppose a mouse is caught under a bowl. This will require you to develop your acting skills and pretend that there is a mouse moving around under the bowl.
