7 Awesome April Fools' Day Pranks To Fool Your Kids

Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you have to act like one.

1. Cover the remote control sensor with a piece of tape and try not to laugh as your kid tries again and again to change channel on the TV.

2. Squeeze a few drops of food dye into the bottom of your child's breakfast bowl, then cover it with cereal. When your kid pours the milk it will change colour as it rises to the top.

3. Change the settings on your child's computer mouse.  In your computer's settings you can make it so that the cursor goes in the opposite direction than it normally does.

4. Paint a bar of soap with nail polish and leave it in the shower.  The soap won't lather, which should give your kids fits as they try to get ready.

5. Stick a helium balloon in the toilet and close the lid.  When your child lifts the lid in the morning the balloon will float out and startle them. For extra fun you could even write "April Fools!" on it.

6. Super glue a couple of coins to the ground outside.  Then sit back and watch for hours of fun

7. Make toffee apples with onions - Your kids will find this one hilarious...not.

Happy April Fools Day, have fun :-)
