5 Fun and Silly Kid Pranks


Two Laughing Little Girls on Bed

We love having fun at home, and pulling a kind-hearted prank here and there keeps everyone laughing. Our kids love goofing off and have so much fun pranking mom and dad. Here are some friendly pranks you and your kids can pull on each other.

Blue Water Prank


Put some blue gel food dye on a cotton swab, and wipe it on the underside of the sink faucet. When the kids go to wash their hands, the water will come out blue!

Silly Sleeping Face


Use an easy to remove, washable marker to draw on your kid's face while he is asleep. Add a silly mustache or goofy eyebrows. So funny!

Phone Swap


Change the language on your child's phone or tablet. (Make sure you know how to change it back though!) Or, change the name that Siri calls your child on her phone. For example, you can change her nickname to be "1111111111111." Oh the silliness!

Frozen Breakfast Cereal


Pour a bowl of cereal as usual and pop it in the freezer overnight. When your kids wake up in the morning and ask for breakfast, they will giggle when they go to scoop a bite and realize it's frozen.

Balloon Pillow


Secretly remove a pillow from the pillowcase and replace it with balloons. The kids will think it's so funny to feel balloons under their head!
