SUMMARY:

This is a fun and memorable prank to start the day right. It’s great for April Fools Day but is also a fun one for birthdays or other celebrations.

HOW TO DO IT:

• Supplies needed: 15-25 balloons, streamers and tape.

• Fill the balloons.

• Once your target is asleep, make sure their door is closed.

• Secure the paper streamers across the door frame to trap balloons against the door.

• When your target wakes up and opens the door, they will be flooded with an avalanche of balloons.

TIPS:

We found streamers to be best for securing the balloons. Balloons tend to stick against plastic wrap and tape, and we are also concerned that those materials might cause safety issues for young kids.

It takes about five minutes to prep the balloons outside the door. It can also be a bit noisy, so hopefully your target is a heavy sleeper or has white noise. You can also do this for other doors, such as when someone is in the shower.

Try and capture their reaction on video.
