Creative Mayhem for April Fools’ Day

The electric hand buzzer, the camera that shoots water when you go in for that special ‘close-up’ or convincing your kids it’s really Sunday when the calendar says Thursday: these are just a few of the tools available to you on the world’s most mischievous day of the year.

If you’re stuck in the house and can’t quite think of the perfect way to add some April Fools fun, here are some suggestions: 

• For a quick and easy April Fools’ prank, just take a cup, write an ominous message on it like: “Do not touch unless you plan to kill it!” and leave it upside down on your kitchen counter.
• A trick that’s been making the internet rounds is to paint their bar of soap in the bathroom with nail polish. No suds? Wonder why.
• There’s no reason to leave the kids out of the act either. Simply open a bag of their favorite snack, replace the contents with a different equally favorite snack and enjoy their confused looks.
• For a quick bit of watery fun, take some electrical tape and tie down the trigger on the sprayer on the kitchen sink. 

There’s no sense in letting a perfectly good holiday go to waste, so enjoy a little creative mayhem this April Fools’ Day.
