April Fool's Day is a perfect time to play a harmless prank on your child

A surprising breakfast

One hilarious April Fool's prank will require a little bit of preparation.

Before your children wake up, make their breakfast cereal early and put it in the freezer.

Then, serve it up when they come downstairs but don’t let on that you know that it's frozen.

Ice cream surprise

On the other end of the spectrum, you can replace their ice cream with mashed potato.

Simply fill their cup with mashed potato and slather it with gravy, which will look like chocolate pudding.

Then, serve it up as though everything was normal.

It might help to have some proper ice cream on hand for afterwards, to save on any disappointment.

Shrinking clothes

If your children have spare pairs of socks lying around, they are the perfect target for an April Fool’s prank.

Sew the ends of their socks up to make them smaller and then leave them with your child’s clothes for the morning.

When they discover that they can’t fit their feet in the socks, shout: “April Fools”;.

Switching cereals

Swap the contents of your child’s favourite cereal for a hilarious prank.

When they pour out their cornflakes, they’ll be shocked when Cheerios come pouring out for example.

All you need to do is switch the bags containing the cereal in each cardboard box.

Gluing coins

Glue coins to the floor for another prank.

Simply find some old change and use a glue which won’t mark your floorboards.

Then, sit back and relax as your children try and pick up the coins.
