April Fools’ Day is this Sunday (Easter Sunday no less), and it's the perfect opportunity to play a few fun tricks on kids!
If you are at a loss of what to do though, we have plenty of ideas below.
And don't forget to share any that you plan on doing - the more ideas the better!
1. Vegetable lollies
Get a piece of vegetable, like broccoli, pop it onto the top of a lollipop stick, cover with tissue paper or better yet an actual lollipop wrapper and give it to your youngster as a “treat”.
2. Serve them frozen cereal
Only do this is you’re not in a rush in the morning! Pour their favourite cereal into a bowl along with some milk the night before and pop it into the freezer. In the morning, give it to your child and watch them wonder why they can’t get their spoon into it!
3. Caramel onions
Peel the skin off an onion and then dip it into caramel sauce. Pop an ice pop stick into the onion and then serve them to your little ones as caramel apples. Too cruel?

4. No soap
Paint a bar of soap with some clear nail polish and constantly ask your youngster why they aren’t washing their hands properly!
5. Change the clocks
Unless you actually have to be somewhere in the morning, turn all the clocks an hour ahead and watch your little get up a little earlier than they’d like!
6. Cover the sensor on the remote
Use a little piece of Sellotape, cover the sensor on the front of the remote control – watch your kids bang it and check the batteries at least a dozen times!
7. Mashed potato ice-cream
Considering it’s nearly Easter, why not give them a scoop of their favourite ice-cream with a little chocolate sauce sprinkled on top! Except replace the ice-cream with delicious mashed potato!
8. Put newspaper into their shoes
Tell them they’ve grown a lot over night before you hand them their shoes to put on. They’ll be surprised at just how much feet can grow in one night!
9. Jelly juice
The night before, make some jelly in your youngster’s cup and allow it to set overnight. Give it to them in the morning and pretend to drop it all over their favourite outfit!
