Hi, Papa and Mama, April 1st is coming. Last week we posted 20 Hilarious and Harmless April Fools’ Day Pranks for your husband or boyfriend. I got some questions from friends, and they want to tease their kids with April fools’ pranks as well.
First of all, there are several pranks that you cannot play with your kids! I am very much against making the promise that you cannot make, e.g., telling them to go to the playground today but not, waking them early in the morning on Saturday and telling them school is open, telling them that they got a gift from you or someone else it is not. Those pranks create kids’ expectations, but they will be so disappointed and maybe result in tears and tempers. My whole intention is that kids laugh only instead of screaming.
Here we summarized six pranks for April Fool’s day for kids.
Table of Contents
1. Googly eyes
Material: googly eyes, I prefer the ones with glue themselves.
Cost < 5 dollars
In the last blog, we have mentioned the same prank, “20 Hilarious and Harmless April Fools’ Day Pranks for your husband or boyfriend“. The simple but fun idea can play with kids as well. Asking them to open the fridge full of googly eyes is super fun, or you can stick it on the lunchbox.
2. Spiders
Material: a black pen.
Cost = 0 dollars
As the last blog mentioned, draw a spider on toilet paper or stick it to a lamp.
3. Popcorn
Material: Popcorn, needle, and thread.
Cost < 5 dollars
Sew the popcorn together and give it to kids while they are enjoying TV time.
4. Eat a plant as dessert
Material: Oreo, Yogurt and Popcorn, needle and thread.
Cost < 5 dollars
This potted plant is packing a sweet surprise! Yogurt and cream hide underneath a layer of crushed Oreos and mint leaves.
This adorable edible potted plant is not only gorgeous, tasty, and easy to prepare; I believe even a kitchen dummy can do it! It’s incredibly realistic, and it’s a fantastic concept for fooling youngsters on April Fool’s Day.
a. Separate the black biscuit and white cream Oreos.
b. Place the yogurt in the cup and combine it with the white cream.
c. Place the crushed Oreos in a plastic bag.
d. Sprinkle the smashed Oreos over the yogurt.
e. Finally, place the mint leaves in the center, and you’re done!
Tips: You can also replace the yogurt with mousse, jello, etc. Oreos don’t have to be very broken; this is more realistic!
5. Eat your boiled egg as breakfast
An eggplant looks like an egg, and you can place them in the egg holder for breakfast.
6. Cola Volcano
Material: Cola and mentos
Cost < 5 dollar
You have probably seen or heard about this classic experiment that involves dropping mentos into a bottle of Coke and watching the soda erupt everywhere!
This has always been one of my favorite experiments to do! It is always fun to watch the reaction between the Mentos candy and the carbonated soda create a dazzling, bubbly, and sticky fountain into the sky.
[For papas and mamas]:
Mentos and Coke, The combination between the gelatin and gum molecules in the Mentos and the carbonation in the soda pop, cause this Coke and Mentos volcano. Carbon dioxide is dissolved in soda and linked to water molecules in carbonated soda beverages.
The gelatin and gum in Mento’s help break up the water and carbon molecules in the soda that have become stuck together. The fact that the Mentos are denser than the liquid soda and sink to the bottom also helps the eruption happen with much more intensity.
This Coke and Mentos volcano happens thanks to the reaction between the gelatin and gum molecules in the Mentos and the carbonation in the soda pop. Carbonated soda beverages contain carbon dioxide dissolved in the soda and attached to water molecules.
Tips:
Any carbonated soda with Mentos can get this stunning reaction. But don’t shake it before using. The carbon dioxide is what creates all the bubbles and creates the pressure to make the fountain.
Enjoy with Kids!
