3 min read

April Fools’ Day is this Friday and if you love pranks, then you’re probably excited as all hell for the best pranking holiday there is.

While it’s fun to prank our co-workers, friends, and spouses, the real fun comes from pranking your kids. They’re gullible, innocent, and unsuspecting. In other words, they’re the perfect targets for some harmless fun!

Earlier this week, BuzzFeed posted an article with tons of elaborate ways to prank your kids this coming April Fools’ Day. Their list is expansive, to say the least. That’s why we took the liberty of finding some of the simplest, and easiest tricks from their list  and gathered them here in this concise (and very annoying) listicle!

Here are 8 April Fool’s Day pranks that will annoy your kids beyond belief:
