It's the classic prank of embedding a stapler in Jell-O, famously executed by Jim to trick his co-worker Dwight on The Office. To replicate this trick at home, prepare a bowl of Jell-O and refrigerate it until it sets. Next, insert the stapler into the set Jell-O, and pour another batch of Jell-O on top of it to create a cover layer. This joke is sure to bring a good chuckle, particularly if your partner enjoys the TV show.
Who doesn't enjoy a delicious donut? Play a harmless trick on your children in the morning by presenting them with packets of "Donut Seeds" for breakfast. Simply place some Cheerios in a small cellophane bag, seal it with a staple, and label it as "Donut Seeds." They'll enjoy a laugh (and breakfast) simultaneously. When you think about it, the cereal does resemble a miniature donut. It might be a good idea to have the actual full-size version of the donut nearby so they can see what their seeds will look like when they mature!
It's not rare to come across a beautifully painted rock with a kind note on the ground. Although this prank does not convey the same uplifting message, it is guaranteed to bring a grin to the recipient's face.

Does your child typically opt for a large serving of cold cereal with milk for breakfast? Offer to prepare that bowl for them. Unknowingly to them, you've already prepared their morning meal the previous night, and it's now in the freezer. Pour their preferred cereal into a freezer-safe bowl, and add milk. To prevent spills, cover the bowl with saran wrap and place it on a level shelf in the freezer overnight. When you serve them their cereal in the morning, they'll be completely baffled as they attempt to use their spoon to dig in.
Here's a simple trick that's guaranteed to bring on the giggles. If you have any area rugs lying around, grab some bubble wrap and tuck it underneath the rug.

Try placing the bubble wrap under the bathmat just before someone steps into the shower and listen to the satisfying pops.
Here's a prank that's sure to amuse - purchase a box of donuts from your neighborhood donut shop, but empty out all the sweets before you arrive home.

This trick can also work well in the office - leave the box in the shared kitchen area to surprise your colleagues with a healthy snack option.
