are you all ready for april fools day? i am. other years i always wanted to do something fun but i just never got around to it. this year i am getting prepared early! while i was searching for inspiration for some april fools food earlier this week i found tons of great ideas. here are a few that i thought were note worthy.
parenting.com had
this great idea. put water in a cereal bowl, and freeze overnight. the next morning, give your kids a bowl of cereal by pouring the cereal on top of the ice, completely covering it, and watch them try to dig in.
familyfun.com had this
faux french fry idea. go there to get the recipe!
i love this idea from familyfun.com too. a
grilled cheese sandwich for dessert!
there are a few variations of plates of spaghetti and meatballs out there.
this one is from familyfun.com.
i love this
meat ball sandwich. especially because i think it looks sooo unappetizing!
laura from
come together kids had
this idea. hehe
i made some dirt cake for my kids a couple weeks ago to trick them. they were so disgusted when andy ate some of the dirt out of the flower pot. even after they ate it and knew that it was dessert they still didn't like it. howie just couldn't wrap his little head around eating dirt...even if it was just cookie crumbs.
baked bree has a great recipe
here.
you gotta love fake cupcakes. i can't wait to try them...
these ones are from
bake at 350.
trick your kids (and hubby) by putting some food color in plain old water! mmm...
i hope this inspires anyone who wasn't excited about april 1st to get into it. i can't wait! i only wish i had more healthy food recipes that are tricks (like the meatloaf cupcakes.)
what do you do for april fools? do you have any fun traditions?

I wasn't even thinking of April Fool's ideas before I read this. Now I'm totally going to trick my kids! Thanks for the great ideas. :)
I put jello in glasses, add a straw and refrigerate over night. The kids can't figure out why the juice doesn't come up the straw when they try to drink it :)
This year, among other tricks, I am going to empty little chip bags (Doritos) from the bottom and fill them with dry oatmeal, then seal them up again with double sided tape or hot glue.
Thanks for sharing my little candy in a fruit can prank!
