Share Laughter this April Fools’ Day! 7 Pranks that are easy and safe to pull off.
At Carebee, we believe you are never too old for fun and play. It’s why we’re passionate about putting on memorable monthly member-exclusive events where fun is at the core of everything we do when we are together in community. It’s also why, when fun holidays like April Fools’ Day come around, we are here to help you make the most of it!
April Fools’ Day is always a fun opportunity to share a little lighthearted humor with friends and family, so we put together a list of seven pranks that are easy to pull off. We promise that each one is guaranteed to bring smiles and laughter!
Brownie Fake-Out
Tell everyone you’ve made “brownies”—but instead of a baked treat, fill a tray with cut-out letter "E"s from brown construction paper (or white paper that you colour brown). When they lift the foil, surprise! They will be met by a tray of ‘Brown E’s’.
Googly Eyes Everywhere
A little silly, but very effective! Stick googly eyes (easy to find at your local dollar store) on items around the house– think: in the fridge on condiments, houseplants, appliances, etc. As friends and family walk around your home, they will be met with a staring contest from the objects you previously adorned. It’s sure to catch them by surprise!
Balloon Surprise
Fill a closet or dresser with balloons, so when someone opens it, they’ll get a cheerful, colourful surprise! It’s an easy and harmless way to add some fun to the day, while also making friends and family feel like they’ve stepped into a celebration.
The Mystery Grocery List
Create a grocery list with one silly item mixed in. Write something like “A dozen purple bananas” or “Extra-crispy water.” See if your family member or friend notices before they head to the store!
The Undrinkable Drink
For this one, make Jell-O in a juice glass and insert a straw while it sets. Then, serve it as a “drink” and watch as someone tries to take a sip—only to realize it’s solid! This one’s sure to get a chuckle.
Shoe Shrink Prank
This one’s a classic! Stuff some tissue paper or cotton into the toe of one shoe (but not the other). When the person goes to put their shoes on, they’ll wonder why one shoe suddenly doesn’t fit!
Brussels Sprout Cake Pops
Dip Brussels sprouts in chocolate, let them set in the fridge, and put them on lollipop sticks. They look just like cake pops—until someone takes a bite and gets a surprise! This is a quirky and fun prank that’s sure to bring on the giggles, especially for young ones.
Will you try any of these? Remember: April Fools’ Day is all about fun, so keep it light and playful!
