Harmless April fool’s pranks to pull

Coming up is April Fool’s Day, which is the ideal opportunity to lighten the mood with some fun yet harmless practical jokes. Keep in mind that April Fools’ Day lasts for 24 hours, so you can have a full day of practical jokes to keep your target audience guessing. But be cautious because if you can give it, you can most certainly be able to take it.

Stepping into it 

This one isn’t for the faint of heart. Smear some crunchy peanut butter around the exterior base of your victim’s shoe. It won’t take long for them to start thinking they stepped in a heaping pile of… poo. If you really want to freak them out, bring it up to your face and give it a sniff. You can even dip a finger into the mess to further commit to the prank.

Cracked phone screen 

When you discover that the screen of your smartphone is cracked, the pain is unequalled. But picture your relief when you learn that the crack is an illusion caused by a straightforward app’s installed wallpaper that was created to resemble a cracked screen. One of the most enjoyable (and least destructive) pranks ever may be made possible by the endorphin surge from the disclosure.

Easter bunny 

Easter Sunday is not distant from April Fools’ Day (Easter lands on April 9 this year). This is the ideal time to let your Easter Bunny join in on the festivities a bit early. If you’ve already stocked up on Easter candy, carefully pull the foil off some chocolate eggs that were previously wrapped in foil and use it to wrap individual grapes for a delightful (and goofy) surprise.
