April Fools’ Day is coming and you know what that means: pranks! Want to have some fun with your family and friends? Here are a few harmless pranks you can pull on them! But make sure your prankee is someone who enjoys a good laugh!

2. Paint their soap bar with a layer of clear nail polish so it won’t lather when they use it. (Note: be nice and have a backup soap bar for them to use!)

3. Put their toothbrush bristle side down in a water-filled ice cube tray slot and leave overnight to freeze. In the morning, wake up before they do and put the frozen toothbrush back in its original spot.

 

4. Slather a door handle in a layer of lotion. Talk about a slippery situation!
