April Fool’s Teacher Gift Idea & Printable Gift Tags Tags

April Fool’s Day Teacher Printable

Thanks to you, I’m no fool! Happy April Fool’s Day!

April Fool’s Day Teacher Gift Tag + Digital Downloads
Do you remember the teacher that really impacted your life? I had a lot of great teachers growing up. Perhaps that is why I went into education, myself, in college.  One of the teachers that really made a difference was Mrs. Cassels. She taught me Art History and even took me to Europe for a month were we toured museums, cathedrals, ancient ruins and more.  Years later, I moved to Washington, D.C. and was able to wow my kids through the Smithsonian Art Museum where I shared my love of painting and sculptures with my kids – they were quite impressed with my knowledge and I was honestly impressed with all I had not forgotten!

April Fool’s Day Teacher Printable

On a regular basis, I try to show my kids’ teachers love. Usually it is through singing up for a thankful Thursday and sending in a candy bar or coffee. Other times it is during a holiday season and attaching a cute printable to a small gift. That was our intention with this freebie. Print your free No Fool gift tag and pair with caramel popcorn, cookies, an apple, or whatever you desire! Maybe a coffee will go far too – who doesn’t love caffeine?

I’m No Fool Supplies:

These are the supplies we used for our gifts, you can of course adapt to your own needs!

  • Red polka dot ribbon
  • Red and white twine
  • Apples
  • Cellophane goodie bags
  • Caramel popcorn
  • Mason jar
  • Chocolate chip cookies
  • No Fool Printable

April Fool’s Day Teacher Gift Tag + Digital Downloads

You will also need material to print your gift tag. Use white card stock or send online to Staples to pick up. (see below.)


I’m No Fool Directions:

Have fun with this free teacher printable gift tag. Your directions will differ from ours based on how you use the printable, but this is how we created our gifts.

We baked cookies according to package directions. Once they cooled we added them to clear cellophane bags and tied them off with red and white twine. We cut our gift tags out and whole punched them on the right side. We tied the bag to the twine with a bow.

We had some mason jars and added some tasty caramel popcorn to the inside. You can make your own or pick up a store bought brand – have you tried POPT! Caramel Buttery Popcorn?  Once your mason jar is full, screw on the lid and tie on a red polka dot bow. Add your gift tag before gifting.

Another great idea is a classic apple – an apple a day keeps the doctor away!  If you feel like an apple is too cliche, step it up by gifting a caramel or candy apple! Wrap in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a red and white polka dot bow. Don’t forget to add your no fool April Fool’s Day gift tag!

We have two versions of tags. One that says Happy Fool’s Day and one that does not.

13 Dollar Tree April Fools Pranks

Thirteen clean and fun Dollar Tree April Fools pranks from as low as $20 – Easy April Fools Day prank ideas for kids from the Dollar Store.

Dollar Tree April Fools Pranks

13 Dollar Tree April Fools Pranks

Every April 1, April Fools’ Day is an annual celebration full of practical jokes. These jokes can have a wide range of silliness form hoaxes to playful amusement. We like to focus on the later, making sure all parties of the prank find it fun and laughable. In an effort to prepare for April Fools’ Day this year, my girls and I went up and down the aisles of the Dollar Store to find some of the most creative (and clean) Dollar Tree April Fools Pranks for Kids. This pranks can be done on kids or the kids can become involved pranking parents or even other siblings.

Also check out our April Fools Ideas for the Kitchen, Home and Office. We also have plenty of fun Free April Fools Day printables for kids and adults. Have fun, be kind!

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 1: Sponge Cakes

Only two items are needed for this April Fool’s Day Prank for the kids. We tricked my husband as his birthday had just occurred when we made our sponge cake. At the Dollar Tree pick up a sponge and we found a package of Funfetti Pillsbury Icing with sprinkles. The trickiest part was not having the sponge show through. I would suggest the lightest sponge you can find (ours was dark blue.) I also suggest icing the cube, freezing it for about five minutes, icing it again, freezing again. My daughter was very patient with it, it was about four times she took it in and out of the freezer until it looked like a mini cake. Supplies include a sponge, icing, sprinkles, scissors and a butter knife.

Price: $2

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 2: Plastic Wrap Shampoo

This is good for a container of bath wash, shampoo or conditioner. Take some plastic wrap and seal under the cap. When your family member tries to squeeze the liquid out of the bottle, it will not come out. This might be an April Fools prank you already have on hand and don’t have to purchase! Supplies include plastic wrap, and shampoo/conditioner/body wash.

Price: $2 – $3

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 3: Kraft Mac and Cheese Juice

For this kids April Fool’s Day Prank you will need powdered Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.  My frugal self pulled out the pasta and made it for the kids later in the week – who doesn’t love pasta with butter? It was easy to make our April Fool’s Day juice. I was amazed how real this looked. When I poured the powder in our pitcher, I was sure that it wasn’t going to fool anyone but it looked just like freshly squeezed orange juice with pulp. You can sift out some of the top if you feel it looks like too much pulp. Gross… but so much fun! Supplies include powdered mac and cheese, water, and a pitcher.

Price: $1


Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 4: Pop Corn

We picked up a popcorn container and a can of corn for this April Fools Day fun! After you ask the kids if they want popcorn, pour a can of corn in the cup and see their reaction! Silly but fun. Supplies include a popcorn container, a can opener and canned corn.

Price: $2

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 5: Brown Es Brownies

Construction paper, a pan and Reynolds Aluminum Foil are all that is needed for this Brown-Es April Fool’s Day brownie prank!  I took brown construction paper and layered it on top of each other. I then drew an E on the top piece of paper with a pencil. I quickly cut out six Es in one cut. On the top of the pan, my girls wrote a note to their dad – “Brownies, Love Lucy and Bella.” He fell for it after dinner! Laughs from all of us! Supplies include brown construction paper, scissors, a baking tray, aluminum foil and a pencil.

Price: $1 – $3

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 6: JELL-O Punch

Full disclosure. Our Dollar Tree did not have powdered JELL-O so we had to grab four of the pre-made individual packs. Four filled up this entire mason jar cup To fill the cup, we melted on the stove-top until it was runny (no chunks).  We pour our melted JELL-O in a mug, added a draw and put it in the fridge. It solidified just fine. After the pranks pilled up, my husband did not fall for this one but he also is not the first to grab a mug of juice out of the refrigerator.  This is a better prank saved for the kids! Supplies include JELL-O (plus ingredients), a mug, and a straw.

Price: $1 – $3

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 7: Frozen Cereal

There are a few option to this cereal prank. You can freeze a layer of ice in a bowl or you can freeze the milk, spoon and cereal in the bowl.  We added a layer of water to the bowl about 2/3 up. We then frozen the layer of water. When I served the cereal and milk, just a litter was on the top layer so when you went to dig your spoon in the bowl, you hit a solid surface! Supplies include a cereal bowl, spoon, milk, cereal and water. You might have everything you need for this April Fool’s Day breakfast prank making this as low as $0!

Price: $1 – $4

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 8: Thin Mint OREOs

The kids loved making these Thin Mint OREOs and I have to admit, they smelled so good! The prank level of how hard it was, was low, but you have to make sure you keep it clean. Otherwise it clearly is not an OREO. I also think it would work better with one of those peel back OREO containers. Using a small bag, we had to open the bag and it doesn’t make it too appealing to start eating OREOs from an already open bag. If it was the peel back container, it would be easy to lay them in the cupboard until someone went in the pantry and served themselves. Supplies include cookies, toothpaste and a butter knife.

Price: $2

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 9: Rock Filled Shoes

So don’t do this prank when you are rushing out the door. No fun having a child clean up rocks and getting their shoes on ten minutes before school starts. Supplies include shoes with rocks, Pony Beads, marbles, toilet paper, or whatever!

Price: $1

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 10: Caramel Ice Cream Parfait

I love this Dollar Tree prank because you can make a practical joke serving ice cream with caramel sauce but it isn’t something that you have to toss after the prank is done. In fact, my kids were thrilled to be eating the mashed potatoes with gravy! It was just as much of a treat. All you need for supplies are instant mash (the ingredients like butter and water) and gravy sauce. We picked up the spoon and glass at The Dollar Tree but they were not needed because you can use your own utensils and parfait glass.

Price: $2 – $4

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 11: Spider Escape

This prank is playful and easy. Grab a paper cup and put on this caution note “Warning… huge, aggressive spider under cup. Do not lift!” Then tear the cup as if this aggressive spider escaped. Fun not only for the home but maybe for a common room in an office. If not for someone to fall for, at least for someone to get a small chuckle. Supplies include a cup, marker, and Post-it note.

Price: $1 – $3

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 12: Remote Control Trick

Dad is sure to fall for this one, especially when the big game is on. Cover the remote control sensor with Scotch Tape. Be sure to draw a black circle where the sensor is completely blocking the transmission. How many times do you think he will change the batteries? Supplies include tape, a permanent marker and of course, a remote control.

Price: $2

Dollar Tree April Fools Prank 13: Bar Soap Trick

For this soap prank, you cover bar soap in clear nail polish. When you go to wash your hands, the soap will not create suds causing the hand washer to keep trying to later up the bar. This worked in our home! Supplies include bar soap and clear nail polish.

Price: $2

Chocolate Pudding Bowls Made with Balloons

Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Pudding Bowls Made with Balloons

Want a creative and cute dessert idea for the kids? Make the chocolate dipped balloon bowls. They are so easy, take a few simple ingredients and the kids will have a blast blowing up the balloon (okay, how are we kidding, you will be doing this) and dipping in in the chocolate.

Follow these simple steps. We served with vanilla pudding, but you could try other flavor puddings or even ice cream – I suggest serving on a plate or in a bowl as the chocolate will quick crack when you use a spoon to scoop out the yummy insides. Best of all, you get to eat you chocolate bowl!

Enjoy!

Chocolate Dipped Balloon Bowls

Ingredients:

  • 12 Small Round Balloons (water balloons work well)
  • 8 oz Melting/Dipping Chocolate Candy (your choice of color)
  • 1 box Pudding Mix
  • 2 cup Milk
  • Candy Decorations (optional)


Chocolate Balloon Bowls

Directions:

  1. Make pudding according to box directions and allow to cool.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
  3. Melt chocolate by microwaving 45 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted and smooth.
  4. Inflate each balloon just until slightly larger than an tennis ball and tie off.
  5. Dip and roll balloon in chocolate until covered about half way.
  6. Place on tray and set tray in freezer for 10 minutes until set.
  7. Dip and roll each balloon a second tip to thicken chocolate shell.
  8. Return to tray and return tray to freezer for 15 minutes.
  9. Snip top of each balloon to release air.
  10. Gently slide your finger and pull balloon away from shell working your way around the edge.
  11. If shell starts to soften, return to freezer for 10 minutes and continue after it firms.
  12. If there are in holes in bottom, carefully fill with melted chocolate to patch and freeze to set.
  13. Fill each egg with pudding and sprinkle with decorations if desired.
  14. Refrigerate until served.

Have a TEA-rrifc mom? These Beau-TEA-ful handmade Tea Cup Mothers Day Card Craft is precious activity for the kids or makes a sweet invitation to a tea party!

Tea Cup Mother’s Day Card Craft

Tea Cup Mother's Day Card Craft

One of our more popular posts is our  Mother’s Day Preschool Crafts.  We were so inspired by this post, we wanted to come up with something creative and crafting on our own! This Tea Cup Mother’s Day Card Craft is for a Tea-rrific Mom! A mom who loves tea and loves to relax! It’s simple and easy, upcyling egg cartons and using scrapbook paper and pipe cleaners.

Be sure to pick up our favorite tea bags!  We think your mom will love them too – they make the most excellent gift! Have a Beau-TEA-ful Mother’s Day incorporating some of these Tea Party Ideas!

Supplies:

  • 1 Cardboard Egg Carton
  • Watercolor Paints
  • 1 Sheet White Cardstock Paper
  • 2 Sheets Patterned or Colored Paper (scrapbook paper)
  • 1 White Pipe Cleaner
  • 2 Pipe Cleaners, any color
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • 2 Tea Bags
  •  Scissors


Tea Cup Mother's Day Card Craft Supplies

Directions:

First, cut 2 pieces of cardstock about 4”x 6” in size and cut 2 pieces of patterned/colored paper about 3”x 5” in size. We used white card stock and colored scrapbook paper.

When you have your paper cut, center each piece of patterned paper on top of each white piece, and glue down on them. These are your two cards.

Grab your egg carton. Use the bottom part of the egg carton and cut 2 of the egg holders from the end of the egg carton. Cut off one side of each egg holder, making sure to leave the other 3 sides intact. When you lay it down on the flat cut off side, it will look like a little round cup.

Once your teacups are cut, use the water colors to paint each little egg holder cup any color you choose, we used blue and purple. Let these dry for a few minutes.

Watercolors Tea Cup Mother's Day Card Craft

While your tea cups are drying, cut 2 pieces of the white pipe cleaners each about 3” long. Cut 1 piece each of the colored pipe cleaners about 3” long. Twist a white piece with each colored piece so you now have 2 pieces that looked striped.

Gluing Tea Cups Mother's Day Card Craft

Make each one into a small handle shape and glue each one to the egg holder cups. I glued one end on the inside top, and the other end to the outside so they look like cup handles.

Glue each teacup with the flat cutout side down onto the cards. Put one of the tea bags into each little cup and let the string dangle over it.

Gluing Tea Cup Mother's Day Card Craft

These make cute cards for Mother’s Day or anytime! They would be fun for a tea party!

Fig Newtons Easter Bible Cookies

B – I – B – L – E, yes that’s the book for me…. (song stuck in anyone else’s head?) We have the cutest Sunday School Easter treat for your sweet friends – Easter Bible Cookies! These cookies so so simple, even your little ones can get their hands on it.

Be sure to check out our Christian Easter Crafts (including Resurrection Eggs, Gardens, and Rolls) and our Easter Food Craft Ideas for Kids.

Enjoy!

Fig Newtons Easter Bible Cookies

Ingredients:

  • Fig Newton Cookies
  • Decorating Icing in a color of your choice
  • Red or yellow fruit roll ups
  • Scissors


Fig Newtons Easter Bible Cookies Ingredients

Directions:

  1. Outline the top of a Fig Newton cookie with a thin rectangle frame of decorator’s icing. This can be in any color that you like, but we prefer white.
  2. Next, make two vertical lines with icing on either end of one side of the cookie. This will make the spine of your Bible.
  3. Draw a cross with icing in the middle of the top of your Fig Newton cookie.
  4. Cut a small rectangle shape from a Fruit Roll Up. Gently push it into the filling on top of the cookie. This will be the top of your bookmark for the Bible.
  5. Cut another rectangle from the Fruit Roll Up, but this time, cut a small triangle out of the bottom edge of it. Gently push this piece into the filling on the bottom of the cookie so that it sticks out slightly. This will be the bottom of the bookmark in your Bible cookie.
  6. Stick the cookies in the fridge or freezer for a bit to let the icing start to harden, or serve immediately.
