Parents Share Their Funniest Easter Pranks for April Fool’s Day

As you’re probably aware, Easter Sunday fell on April Fool’s Day this year, giving parents a rare opportunity to mess with their kids as they collected their chocolate goodies.

The last time Easter fell on the first of April was in 1956, and while I’m sure there were many pranksters around back in the day, without social media their antics remained confined to the amusement of their families. Not so in 2018!

From fruits and veggies disguised as Easter treats to mischievous fun, it seems many families got in on the fun of tricking the children in their lives.

These parents took to social media to share the funniest ‘Easter Fools Day’ pranks that they pulled on their children.

“Happy Easter, kids. The Easter Bunny has hidden loads of eggs throughout the house for you to find.”
“Yay!”

For anyone that may have been caught out, you have 11 years to hatch a plan for revenge! It is expected that Easter Sunday will fall on the first of April again in 2029.
