17 April Fool's Day Pranks To Play On The Kids

April Fool's Day is a great excuse to play a few little tricks on your kids without feeling guilty! 

• Put a bowl with cereal, milk and a spoon into the freezer overnight and then hand it to them the next morning. They'll be wondering why they can't get the spoon out to eat their cereal.
• Give them a little treat with a very tasty mashed potato sundae. Drizzle a little chocolate and they’ll never know the difference – until they go to take a bite.
• Set their clock back two hours – remember that the clocks go forward early Monday morning.
• Give them a tasty cupcake with a mayonnaise icing topping – just add some food colouring and sprinkle on some candy.
• Fill up a bowl with jellies and leave a note saying Happy April Fool’s Day – watch as your confused children try to figure out what is wrong while you eat all the sweets.
• Cut a silhouette of a giant spider and stick it to the inside of their lampshade – prepare for the early morning screams.

• Give them a special April Fool’s Day treat of a chocolate apple - just replace the apple for an onion for the day that's in it! 
• Re-arrange their chest of drawers and watch as they panic trying to find their clothes.
• Stuff newspaper into their shoes so they’ll think they’ve grown overnight.
• Sew their socks halfway down so they can’t get their foot through.
• Replace the cream in the middle of Oreos with mayonnaise.
• Paint the bathroom soap with clear nail polish.
• Hide an alarm clock somewhere in their bedroom – watch as they frantically try to turn it off in the morning.
• Put clingfilm over the toilet bowl (just be prepared for the clean-up that you know you’ll have to do!).
• Put grapes in empty sweet wrappers – they’ll be getting a healthy treat surprise.
• Cover the remote sensor with Sellotape.
• Swap the cereal bags into different boxes.
