11 April Fools Day Pranks

11 April Fools Day Pranks

1. Frozen cereal

This is my all time favorite prank for kids. It’s easy, not messy, and tricks them every time. All you need to do is pour a bowl of cereal and stick it in the freezer over night. Don’t forget the spoon!

2. Brown E’s

All you need to do for this brownie prank is cut a few letter “E”‘s out of brown construction paper. I taped a 7 E’s to the bottom of our usual brownie pan and put the lid on it. My kids were not amused, but I thought it was hilarious!

3. Bacon and eggs

Unlike my brownie prank, this is an April Fool’s trick your kids will love! For details on how to make candy bacon and eggs out of white chocolate and caramels, check out Making Memories with Your Kids.

4. Donuts

These meat loaf donuts complete with beet tinted mashed potato “icing” is sure to get a giggle! Find the details at Rosy Cheeks.

5. Meat Loaf Cake

Instead of meatloaf donuts, consider making a meatloaf cake for an April Fool’s Day dinner. The meatloaf cake even has a Worcestershire glaze between each layer. Yum? Find more at Black Widow Bakery.  

6. Kitty Litter Cake

The kitty litter cake wins the grossest April Fools Day prank in my book. German chocolate kitty cake, anyone? Find the kitty litter cake tutorial at Kristian Hoffman.

7. Spaghetti and Meatballs

 

8. Grilled cheese

This is another dinner idea turned desert that actually looks delicious. Instead of bread and cheese, she uses pound cake and frosting! For the complete fake out grilled cheese and tomato soup recipe, check out Nellie Bellie.

9. Ice Cream Sundaes

How excited would the kids be to have a “sundae” with dinner? This mashed potato sundae with gravy is a great addition to any April Fool’s Day dinner. Find the mashed potato sundae recipe at Bake at 350. 

 

10. Faux Can of Fruit

I love how simple this April Fool’s Day trick is and that kids will actually enjoy the trick! All you need is a pop tab can of fruit, a can opener, and candy! Find out how to make a faux can of fruit at Come Together Kids.

11. Kentucky Fried Chicken Dessert

The fake chicken legs are easier to make than you think! All you need are pretzel rods, mini marshmallows, Rice Krispies, and bran cereal! Find the full tutorial at Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons.
