If you’re looking for cute April Fools’ Day jokes for kids, there are plenty of fun and harmless pranks that will get the giggles without causing any confusion or stress.
Here are some simple and silly ideas that kids will love:
1. Color Changing Milk
What You Need: Food coloring and milk.
Prank: The night before April Fools’ Day, add a few drops of food coloring (like blue or green) to the milk carton. When your kids pour themselves a glass of milk in the morning, they’ll be shocked to see it’s a strange color! (Make sure to tell them it’s just a harmless prank right after they react.)
2. Fake Bug in Their Food
What You Need: A fake plastic bug (like a plastic spider or fly).
Prank: Place a realistic-looking plastic bug on their cereal, sandwich, or inside a fruit bowl. Watch their faces when they see the bug — but be ready to laugh as they realize it’s fake!
3. Toothpaste Oreo Cookies
What You Need: Oreos, toothpaste (preferably white).
Prank: Carefully scrape out the cream filling of the Oreo cookies and replace it with white toothpaste. Offer them the cookie and see their reactions when they take a bite! Make sure to keep it light-hearted and reveal the prank quickly to avoid any discomfort.
4. Frozen Cereal
What You Need: A bowl, cereal, milk, and a freezer.
Prank: The night before, prepare a bowl of cereal with milk, and then freeze it overnight. In the morning, serve the frozen cereal as if it’s the usual breakfast! Watch them try to dig in, only to find it’s frozen solid.
5. Fake Cracked Phone Screen
What You Need: A cracked screen wallpaper (easy to find online).
Prank: Download a cracked screen wallpaper and set it as the background on your child’s phone or tablet. When they unlock it, they’ll think their screen is cracked! Be sure to reveal it’s a fake screen before they get too worried.

6. Jelly Juice
What You Need: Gelatin, juice, and a glass.
Prank: Prepare a glass of gelatin the night before (using any juice flavor they like). After it sets overnight, serve it as if it’s regular juice. They’ll be confused when they try to drink it and realize it’s solid!
7. Shampoo That Won’t Come Out
What You Need: Plastic wrap or tape.
Prank: Cover the top of the shampoo bottle with a piece of plastic wrap or tape. When your child tries to use it, nothing will come out, and they’ll wonder what’s wrong with the bottle. You can even pretend to be confused and tell them it’s a “special new shampoo”!
8. Tissue Box Surprise
What You Need: A tissue box and a bunch of small toys or silly surprises.
Prank: Fill a tissue box with small toys or funny items (like tiny rubber spiders, googly eyes, or candy). When your kid pulls out a tissue, they’ll be surprised by the funny items instead!
9. Shoe Laces That Won’t Tie
What You Need: Rubber bands or string.
Prank: Tie rubber bands or strings around the laces of your child’s shoes, so when they try to tie their shoes, the laces won’t stay in place. They’ll be puzzled trying to figure out why they can’t tie their shoes!
10. Switched Cereal Boxes
What You Need: Two cereal boxes.
Prank: Switch the contents of two cereal boxes. For example, put cornflakes in a sugary cereal box or vice versa. When they open the box expecting their favorite cereal, they’ll be confused by the swap.
11. Water in a Paper Cup
What You Need: A paper cup and water.
Prank: Fill a paper cup with water, then place a piece of plastic wrap or clear tape tightly over the top. When your kid picks up the cup, they’ll be surprised that the water doesn’t spill, and it’ll be impossible to drink!
12. Mismatched Socks
What You Need: A drawer of socks.
Prank: Take a pair of socks and swap them with socks from different pairs. When your child goes to get dressed, they’ll find their socks don’t match, and they’ll be confused.
13. Balloon Avalanche
What You Need: Balloons and tape.
Prank: Tape a trash bag or large sheet to the top of a doorframe and fill it with balloons. When your child opens the door, the balloons will fall on them in a funny avalanche!
14. Switching the Clock
What You Need: A clock or phone.
Prank: Change the time on the alarm clock or their phone. Set it to go off earlier or later than expected. When they wake up, they’ll be confused why it’s so early (or late), and it’ll give them a little chuckle once they figure it out.
15. Upside-Down Cup
What You Need: A cup and a piece of paper.
Prank: Fill a cup with water and place a piece of paper over the top. Then, quickly flip it upside down and place it on the counter. When your kid tries to pick up the cup, it will stay stuck to the paper!
Important Tips for Pranking Kids:
Keep it lighthearted: Make sure the prank doesn’t cause too much confusion or distress.
Safety first: Ensure no one is put in harm’s way, especially with food pranks or anything that could lead to a mess or accidents.
Reveal the joke quickly: Always make sure the person knows it’s a prank as soon as possible so they can enjoy the fun too.
