Although this day already holds a special place in my heart as it is my birthday, this year I am celebrating a milestone, 45 year sold But I don’t think as you get older you need to stop having fun with these April Fools Day Lunch Box Pranks
 
So I am in the process of coming up with a good trick for my kids but thought I would share this one that I did last year and never posted. Be sure to check out all the other great April Fools Day jokes and April Fools Day Pranks.  
 
I am not suggesting you be evil this April Fools Day, just have some fun with the kids in their  April Fools Day Lunch Box. 
 
Since I first wrote this post in 2016 , Uncrustables sandwiches only came in Peanut Butter Style.  Now they come in several more varieties. The key is changing up the filling from what the outside wrapper states.

April Fools Day Lunch Prank – Fake Uncrustable Sandwich

 
I usually have a box of Smuckers Uncrustables in my freezer for those days I do not have sandwich food or just too plain lazy to make them. The night before April Fools Day, when the kids were asleep, I started experimenting.
 

I used a large mouthed glass cup to cut out circles out of bread.

 I then cut the sandwich meat and cheese out of circles.

Then I carefully opened an uncrustable and removed the sandwich. Put the sandwiches in a freezer bag and placed them back into the freezer.I put the circle sandwich together and then used a fork to replicate the pattern around of the uncrustable.

Put the new sandwich into the PB& J bag and reseal with double stick tape. I tell you they won’t know the difference. 

I then cut the sandwich meat and cheese out of circles.

Bam, when the kids pull out their lunch they will be surprised that it was not peanut butter. The kids will take a bite and their brain will have a sensory breakdown. They think they are having a PB& J sandwich and you fooled them. Good Work Mom!

 

NOTE: Do not do this in a peanut free school you will cause an uproar!

 

What April Fools Day Lunch Tricks do you have up your sleeve? 


My introduction to April Fools Day Tricks began 39 years ago when my father phoned my grandmother announcing the birth of her 4th grandchild. My grandmother laughed and said “April Fools”.

Well this was not a joke but my birthday!! I can remember playing jokes as early as 3rd grade on my teacher. I remember it was soo good she actually got mad, maybe because she thought she might have choked.

My mother had some old faux grapes around the house and knowing my teacher was a health nut, I washed a small bunch and placed them still a bit damp into a plastic baggie. I then offered her one at snack time…well you can probably see how this ended.

 

 I was thinking this year I might do this to my kids in their lunch box as I have some fake fruit sitting in a bowl….Can you tell which is not fake?

Last year my son’s teachers were even fooled with this April Fool’s Day Tricks. Fill a sugary snack bag with a healthy one. The teachers tried to take it away and Charlie said “why it is just carrots!!

At breakfast put a few drops of food coloring at the bottom of their cereal bowls, fill it with cereal and when they come down for breakfast and you put the milk in they will be surprised by the color change!!

 

There are so many good looking gummy candies out there. How about making a fruit salad and adding a bug either edible or toy. It will probably make them jump at first. Or put a whole inside of an apple and have a gummy worm stick out. I tried this last year but I think by the time they went to eat it the worm had fallen into the lunch box.
