What You'll Do

Make some inventive mischief with a host of hilarious DIY pranks! Perfect your practical joking skills as you craft gags big and small using everything from simple household materials to polished graphic designs.

Kick things off with a wacky classic, creating a whoopee cushion from a sponge, plastic bag and balloon. Learn how to use simple shapes to design a frightful fake bug to hide inside a lamp. Crank up the silliness with a trick machine that instantly adds color to any drawing you can dream up. BE DETERMINED as you mix, knead and sculpt faux snacks realistic enough to fool unsuspecting eaters. Engineer a prank food container with a pop-up surprise, then BE REFLECTIVE as you consider which elements you can add to achieve ultimate astonishment. Learn graphic design techniques using the digital art app Canva as you create a ridiculous gag gift packaged with a professional-looking label.
