Tomorrow is April Fool’s Day! Play some fun jokes, but not practical jokes, on your family. And definitely pretend to be fooled when your kids try to prank you. Here are a few family-friendly ideas.

Serve breakfast for dinner. Or dinner for breakfast.

What are your fun jokes? Tell me in the comments.

Something I have done in the past was switching the contents of snack bags and resealing the bag. It could be chips, goldfish, cookies, etc. Carefully open the bag and replace with a completely different snack and reseal. A bag resealer is only a few dollars on Amazon.
I also unscrewed the aerator on the sink faucet and put in a tub tint tablet and then screwed it back on. When kids use the sink the water comes out a color!
