My boys love to play pranks on their dad on April Fools Day. Any ideas? They're 3 & 5 year old boys.

How about some little plastic bugs in the ice cubes. Or put them in his lunch. Or Jello. These things the boys could actually help you make.

Pull apart some oreos and scrape the icing off. Replace it with some white toothpaste.

I saw in the Parents magazine where you freeze milk or juice overnight in a cup about a third of the way. In the morning fill the glass the rest of the way with milk or juice.

We used to put a piece of masking tape over the opening of the faucet. When my dad would turn it on in the morning, he would get sprayed! I would let them do something that is simple, funny yet not mean, and easy for you or your hubby to clean up or recover from. I know if I put salt in the sugar bowl, my husband would be pissed! I agree that the Family Fun website has some great ideas--they also have some really cute food ideas as tricks (but you can still eat them-they're not ruined--things like it looks like you're eating a cookie, but it's really a dinner food, etc.) Good luck, have fun!

My mother in law once baked cupcakes for her husband to take to work. She iced them with some sort of White toothpaste. Pepsodent I believe. Most everyone found great humor in the gag, and one person even thought that the icing was good and minty!
