5 Easy & Free April Fool’s Day Pranks for Kids
Undie Swap:
Before anyone wakes up in the morning, swap out their underwear with each other’s! You know how funny it will be when your daughter wakes up to find her dad’s boxers in her underwear drawer, instead of her own? Or how flabbergasted your husband will be to find pink “My Little Pony” undies in place of his usual undies!
You could also replace everyone’s pile of undies with adult diapers!
Upside Down Land:
Walk through the house and turn some of the photos upside down. Don’t do it to all of them or else they won’t be as surprised when they continue to spot upside down things throughout the day!
You can do this for anything: Artwork, family photos, calendars, anything that’s not nailed down!

Sticky Coins:
Hot glue a couple of quarters to the floor! Kids will bend down to scoop them up, only to find they’re stuck! Try not to giggle as they try their hardest to pull the coins from the floor.
Lights Out:
Before everyone tumbles out of bed, flip your electrical breaker in one of the rooms. When the kids complain that it’s dark, tell them that the electricity must be out in that room only! Watch the look of bewilderment as they try to understand how that’s possible.
Shoe Stuff:
Add a wadded up ball of toilet paper to everyone’s shoes! When they slip their foot inside, they’ll complain that they’re too small. You can retort that they couldn’t possibly have grown “that much” overnight!
