Put a bowl of your kid’s favorite cereal and milk in the freezer overnight, then watch in the morning as your unsuspecting kid clanks a spoon against the frozen milk.

Unscrew the cap to the faucet, put a pellet from an Easter egg kit under it, then screw the cap back on. This will make colored water come out of the faucet.

In your computer’s settings you can make it so that the cursor goes in the opposite direction than it normally does.

Your kid will be stumped why nothing happens when they touch or click on the icons.
20. Serve up a glass of juice that is really Jell-o.
That first sip will be classic.

Be sure to have your camera ready to catch the moment when your kid pulls back the tin foil to find brown Es instead of the expected chocolate goodness.
22. Paint a bar of soap with finger nail polish and leave it in the shower.
The soap won’t lather, which should give your kids fits as they try to get ready.

“I’m sorry, sweetie, did I say iPad? I meant I bought you an eye pad.”
