April Fools


This was the funnest April Fools day I’ve ever had. My kids are old enough to understand the tricks being played on them. I made 35 of these “donut seed” packets found on familyfun.com. I brought mini donuts to the K kids and then asked if they wanted to grow their own donut tree. Frosted cheerios were inside the packets. Some of the kids were really excited to go home and plant a donut tree. Until I broke their hopes and told them APRIL FOOLS!
My oldest was so excited to tell her classmates at lunch what her mom did to her yogurt container. She was so surprised to find Jello instead of yogurt.
#1 thought this was hilarious, my 4 year old was so mad. He really wanted cake for breakfast. I reedeemed myself at lunch with the yogurt trick. He decided then that he liked April Fools day and decided to come up with some good tricks of his own. We also shared this cake with our teachers as well.

Jennifer, my kindergartener Claire LOVED this trick and giggled when she saw it posted on your website. My 3rd grader completely fell for it, too, and was bummed she missed the “Plant by April 1″ deadline. So clever. Thanks for including all us other families in your family fun!
