"Wow" them when they wake up in the morning—this is a great April Fools' prank for kids who love fun surprises. Use painter's tape to attach several wide pieces of plastic wrap across your child's door, and fill the pocket it creates with inflated balloons. When your child opens her door in the morning, a huge balloon explosion will greet her. Check out these funny Facebook pranks!

Prank #7: Serve a foolish meal

Faux foods have become a delicious way to celebrate April Fools. This is an easy April Fools' prank for kids that will make the whole family laugh at the dinner table. Serve half of a canned peach atop a flat circle of vanilla yogurt to create a fake fried egg in the morning. (You can serve that with cinnamon-sprinkled apple faux fries.) For dinner, make meatloaf and separate it into cupcake tins, and frost the "cupcakes" with mashed potato frosting as a special "dessert for dinner." And for dessert? Try "grilled cheese" made with slices of pound cake as the bread and gooey yellow frosting in lieu of cheese. The kids' "juice" can be jello refrigerated in glasses, with straws embedded for an extra realistic touch.

Prank #8: Create a crazy candy mix

This fun April Fools' prank for kids is perfect for those who eat candy by the handful. Trick them with a seemingly appetizing candy dish—but mix together Skittles, Reeses Pieces, and M&Ms in it. That first handful of candy will definitely taste a little… ahem… unusual. Odds are, they'll probably pick through it a little more carefully after that. Since it's close to Easter, make sure you avoid the Easter candies everyone secretly hates.
