Baby Carrot Tootsie Rolls
If your child's favorite candy is a Tootsie Roll, then unravel a few rolls the night before April 1st and replace the candy with baby carrots for a (healthy) surprise in their lunchbox.

Vegetable Lollipops
Do some meal prep with this vegetable lollipop prank. Poke lollipop sticks into Brussels sprouts, then re-wrap the veggies with candy wrappers. Their shock at what they find might just convince them to eat their vegetables come dinner time!

Grape Chocolates
You probably already have some chocolate Easter eggs at home for the upcoming holiday. Repurpose a few of them by using the wrapping to cover green grapes. The kids might think they're getting a sneak preview of their Easter basket, but they'll still have a sweet treat in the end.

Frozen Cereal
Freeze a bowl of your kid's favorite cereal with milk overnight. Then, deliver them breakfast on April Fools' Day, only to have them discover it's frozen when they go to take their first bite.

Jell-O Juice
What's funnier than watching your sibling take a sip of Jell-O thinking that it's juice? To pull this April Fools' Day prank, refrigerate a cup of Jell-O with a straw in it. They won't know the difference until they take a drink — or try to, at least.

Shaving Cream Prank
After your sibling dozes off, sneak into their room and put shaving cream on their hand. Next, tickle their forehead with a feather and laugh as they try to itch their face with a handful of shaving cream.

Mayo Ice Cream
Just when your sibling thinks they are going to bite into a deliciously sweet dessert, they'll get a mouthful of mayo instead, and you'll get a good laugh. Offer to get the ice cream post dinner, and scoop a few tablespoons of mayo into the ice cream bowl when they aren't looking.

Whoopie Cushion Chair
Right before dinner, sneak into the kitchen and place a Whoopie Cushion on your sibling's or parent's chair for an iconic April Fools' prank that never ceases to be funny.

Cream Cheese Toothpaste
Instead of brushing their teeth with minty fresh paste, your sister or brother will be surprised to have a mouthful of cream cheese. Sneak into the bathroom the night before and fill the tube with cream cheese. Just make sure to have a backup paste, so they can go to school with a clean mouth.

Broken Remote Control
Ahead of the airtime of your sibling's favorite TV show, remove the batteries from the remote control, then watch them scramble to change the channel in time.

Hole in Water Bottle
When your brother or sister isn't looking, grab a pin and poke tiny holes in their water bottle. They'll go to take a swig and realize their drink is leaking everywhere.

Stuffed Shoes
Stuff the toes of your kid's school shoes with tissue paper the night before April 1. When they try to put them on in the morning, they'll be so confused as to why the shoes they wear every day no longer fit.

Color-Changing Sink Water
Grab a Q-tip and douse it in food coloring. Then, use it to swab the inside of the faucet. When the next person goes to turn on the water, the whole sink will turn orange, red, or blue.

Fake Eggs
Although this breakfast looks like a plate of eggs, potato wedges, and ketchup, it's actually yogurt, a peach, apple slices, and jam.

Bathroom Reading
