10 Family Friendly April Fools Day Ideas

Are you a practical joker by nature? Does your family totally expect to be surprised on April Fools Day with some sort of prank?

OR, maybe you’re not one to normally pull pranks, so by giving any of these jokes a try on your family or friends, they’d be totally caught off guard (all the more reason to try it this year).

This is a funny collection of food themed April Fools Day ideas, all family friendly. No guarantees on the reactions you may get from your people, you might make some laugh, or cry, or be mad, but it’s all in good fun! What I’m saying here is, do these pranks at your own risk, because you know what they say about payback, LOL!
