Seriously, April Fools’ Day is one of my favorite holidays, and I know that’s not normal.
I just think April Fools’ Day gives us a good excuse to get a little silly and throw a few laughs into your kids’–and our–day. ย Because all too often, between ย homework, activities, meetings, projects, and work, I don’t think we do enough silly things just to be silly.
So there.
I like April Fools’ Day.
I like good, clean April Fools’ pranks and jokes for kids, especially. I like unexpected, strange, and tricky.
I like April Fools’ pranks and jokes that make us do a double-take, ones that don’t hurt and are never super-scary.
And for as long as I can remember, googly eyes make me laugh hard–so I use them a lot.
Here’s the skinny. . .
- April Fools’ Pranks and Jokes for Kids: ย I say ‘kids’ but really, these little sillies can be used for anyone with a decent sense of humor.
And as with anything you do with–and for–your kids, of course you must use your discretion. Like if your child is totally frightened of flies, don’t play a fly joke on him. Or if your spouse’s worst nightmare is to fall into a pit of snakes, then maybe you don’t pull out the fake snake.
