Show off your silly side with these fun and easy April Foods’ Day pranks. Let the games begin!
Rise and Shine
April 1st falls on a Sunday this year. Wake the kids with a cheerful ‘It’s time to get up for school!’ Bonus points if you let them get dressed before telling them it’s Sunday.
The Change-Up
Change the position of your child’s underwear drawer. If you have more than one child, swap one sibling’s drawer with another sibling’s drawer.
Green Eggs and Ham
Make the family a Sunday brunch Dr. Seuss would approve of by adding green food colouring to scrambled eggs.
Bug Out
Buy some plastic bugs and serve them up for a mid-morning snack. Tell your kids cricket protein is a hot new food trend. (You wouldn’t be lying!)
A Bowl of Surprise
Pour milk and cereal into a bowl the night before and let it freeze overnight. Your kids will be surprised when they go in for that first spoonful of Cheerios.
