I was just thinking about something to do to my kids this year … I like to do something simple but fun every year. Thanks for sharing all the great ideas!
Laurie, Some of these are too funny! I am the prankster, almost every year I get my hubby on something, like the park the car in another parking lot, may try that on vacation which starts April 1st, he’ll lose his lunch, because it’s going to be a rental, or I’ll use one of the other ideas, truly great! ~Christina at http://www.creativetizzy.blogspot.com
This year I am going to dip cotton balls in chocolate to make them look like candy for my co-workers. Also going to get some Oreo cookies, separate them, scrape out a bit of the filling in the center and refill with toothpaste then put back together. The last thing I can’t wait to try is I am going to put a note on my co-workers car that says, “sorry I hit you” she will go crazy looking for the damage that isn’t there.
Laurie
These ideas are fantastic! {{snicker}} April Fools is such fun day.
Hehee~! These are some fun ideas~!
One I did for work and for home was scrape out the cream filling in oreo’s and replace it with toothepaste! Set them out on a plate for all to take one. LOL it was too funny!
A friend did the Oreo trick when I was in jr. high and shared them with our English class. Some of the boys did not even notice!! Ick.
We LOVE April Fools Day around here Laurie…I can’t way to try a few of these out on my kids! Hee!!
Thank you so much for this post! I did the TV dinner cupcakes on National TV dinner day and the meatloaf cake on April Fool’s. I wasn’t sure what to do this year, but I’m loving that pizza cake and the “donuts”!
I Love these ideas!
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb
Great ideas!!! I think i will be doing some of these pretty soon!!
I love these ideas. I do a food activity with the kids at the hospital where I work each year. They love it. We did the bacon and eggs idea last year. It was great and looked so real!!! I will have to try some of these others out!

Thanks for all the April Fools Ideas
I made the TV Dinner Cupcakes for my dad for his birthday last year.
I love this! So creative (:
a group of us pulled a prank our our supervisor when he went on vacation, we wrapped everything in foil and placed his “stapler” it was an imposture in a thing of jello. then we covered his whole desk with dixie cups filled with water so that he had to empty one at a time. there were a few stapled together so he had to make sure he didnt get into a rhythm
Wow, some of those office pranks are really elaborate. For people who have a little bit less time, here’s an easy one. Take a blank piece of paper, put a paper clip on it and run a bunch of copies. Then take the copies and put them back in the paper tray. Now, watch your co-workers go crazy trying to figure out why the paper clip is showing up on all their copies!
No jokes for us tomorrow. We had a layoff today (2 of my co-workers), so I don’t think anyone is in the mood for silly jokes right now.
Those are fun. I’m not done with pranks yet but last night before bed I covered bunnies car with googly eyes stuck on with vaseliline. Lol, he took the time to pick each one off before leaving
oh wow, i love the idea of making food look like other food. this is great, thanks for the post
The business loans seem to be useful for guys, which would like to start their own business. As a fact, that is not really hard to receive a short term loan.
One of the best April Fool’s jokes I’ve ever pulled off was when I took the top pair of underwear in each person’s drawer and stitched the legs closed! It was priceless, listening to yells coming from down the hall as each person jammed a foot in that didn’t go through!

dumb
petit fours for your office or friends...
I didn’t see this one listed but I’ve used it several times. Take regular kitchen sponges, cut them in petit four size. Cover them with icing (I used already prepared because it was easy). Decorate.
They look beautiful. My favorite time to use this was in a office department where everyone brought in different kinds of food for the group, and also loved to play tricks. Just set them out for everyone, sit back and watch what happens.
It was pretty darn funny.
pranks!
oh what a wonderful job you did! how creative!

If you are in a not good position and have got no cash to move out from that, you would have to take the business loans. Just because that will aid you definitely. I get sba loan every time I need and feel great because of this.

I will recommend not to hold off until you earn enough amount of money to buy all you need! You should get the mortgage loans or consolidation loans and feel yourself comfortable

The personal loans seem to be very useful for guys, which want to ground their own business. As a fact, it is not very hard to get a short term loan.

People deserve wealthy life time and loans or just commercial loan can make it better. Because people’s freedom relies on money state.

Some time before, I needed to buy a good car for my organization but I didn’t earn enough money and could not buy something. Thank goodness my mate adviced to try to take the credit loans from trustworthy bank. Therefore, I acted so and used to be satisfied with my short term loan.

Make your own life more easy take the personal loans and everything you want.
