INGREDIENTS: «A box cake mix of your choice « 2-cans white frosting, «« plue food coloring » white cotton candy « rainbow sprinkles * fondant in all the colors of the rainbow + toothpicks DIRECTIONS: 1. Begin by making your rainbow. Roll each fondant color into long. ropes and assemble them in an arch, as seen. Cover it with cling wrap until later. 2. Prepare two round cakes according to your box's instructions, then bake as. directed. Let cakes cool. 3. Ask an adult to help you remove your cakes from the pans and level them. To level cakes, you cut off the rounded top layer of them so they're completely flat, This makes them easier to stack and ice. 4, Combine all the frosting in a big bowl and add 2-4 drops of blue food coloring to it. Mix until your frosting is light blue. 5, Place a small spoonful of frosting in the center of your cake plate and flatten it. Put one of your cakes on top. 6. Use a rubber spatula to cover ‘the sides and top of the cakes with the blue frosting. Add the ‘second cake on top and repeat the process. 7. To add the sprinkles to the bottom of the cake, you're going to need a clean hand. After you wash up, pour sprinkles into a cupped hand and lightly press them onto the cake until there’s a ring of them around the bottom. 8. Spread handfuls of white cotton candy all over the top of the cake to make clouds. ‘9. Unwrap your fondant rainbow ‘and use toothpicks to attach it to your cake.

Eleven-year-old April Garcia is the youngest of six children, and her siblings would all use one word to describe her: gullible. ‘That means she'll believe pretty much anything, which makes her the perfect target for their tricks and pranks. But not this year, April thinks, sitting at her desk. This April Fools’ Day I'm going to turn the tables on them. She's been planning her revenge for a long time — since last April Fools’ Day. ‘That was the day she walked around with blue teeth because her brothers had put food coloring in her toothpaste. Then, her sisters convinced her it was Crazy Dress- Up Day at school, so she showed up wear- inga ridiculously mismatched outfit and everyone else was dressed normally. (April still wasn't sure why shed believed her sis- ters. They didn't even go to her school!) As if that wasn't bad enough, the Garcias hosted a huge family dinner with all their aunts, uncles and cousins that night and April’ siblings thought itd be hilarious to put a whoopee cushion on her seat. Every- one still talks about that giant “fart” she let ut ... even though she showed them the whoopee cushion! “We have to prank you; her siblings had said afterwards. “Your name is April!” “That doesn’t mean I'ma fool!” shed argued. But they'd just given her pointed looks in response. On the eve of April Fools’ this year, April went to sleep on with a smile on her face, gw 59K your storytime thinking about everything she has in store for her siblings. She woke up super-early on the big day, setting an alarm so she could get up before everyone else. She snuck down the stair- case, careful to avoid that creaky step in the middle that would surely wake some- body up. April was going to start the day by pranking her brothers, Danny, Rafi and yelled after spitting out his spoonful. Danny and Oscar were confused — un- til they tried their breakfast. Danny grimaced as he swallowed his oatmeal. “I think someone put salt in the sugar jar” ‘That's exactly what April had done, knowing her brothers sweetened their oatmeal every morning, And she was thrilled when her twin sisters, Ali and Danny grimaced as he swallowed his oatmeal. “I think someone put salt in the sugar jar? 60 Oscar. At first, she thought the best pay- back would be putting food coloring in their body wash. But then she remem- bered that they got in a lot of trouble with their parents for dyeing her teeth blue and figured that wasn't the smartest idea. Instead, she was going to mess with their beloved breakfast. She could barely keep the smile off her face as she sat at the kitchen table later, especially when Rafi started to sing, “It’s oatmeal time! It’s the best time of the day!” He quickly changed his tune. “Oh, yuck! That was disgusting” he Georgie, burst out laughing at Danny's revelation. “You did this?” Rafi pointed at them, accusingly. April quietly got up from the table and backed out of the room. Yes! Everything is going to plan, she thought. They don't suspect me at all. She ran into the mudroom and dropped her next prank in Ali and Georgie’s back- packs. April needed to be patient with this prank. She didn't get to appreciate it until they all got home from school later.Ali and Georgie walked through the front door around 3 p.m. with gold glitter all over their faces, Danny, Rafi and Oscar walked in after them, looking amused. “It isn’t funny? Ali snapped. “I.cannot believe you guys did that to us? Georgie whined. “We opened those envelopes in the hallway, and the glitter got everywhere!” “We... didn’t ... do between laughs. Ali and Georgie glared at the boys before ... anything” Rafi said stomping off to shower. “My buddy Conor saw it all happen, guys, Oscar told his brothers. “He said it was the funniest thing he’s ever seen. There was glitter everywhere and the girls had a meltdown? Operation Glitter Envelope was a success, April thought as she eavesdropped. She looked down at her watch and was excited to see it was almost Prank Call Hour. Shed convinced three of her friends to take turns prank calling her brothers between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. When April walked into the family room, where the boys always did their homework, she heard Rafi yelling into his cellphone. “There's nobody named Frank here. Stop calling my phone!” He hung up ina huff and it looked like steam was coming out of his ears when his phone rang again a few seconds later. gw etyour storytime “Hey, at least someone isn't calling and telling you knock-knock jokes every few minutes? Danny pointed out. “Or claiming you won a tropical vaca- tion to a country called Gotcha Land? Oscar grumbled. April made a mental note to thank her friends again at school the next day. The boys were whispering about how Georgie and Ali must have arranged this When the twins got up prank, too. It sounded like they were plot- ting some revenge when the twins walked into the room. “We're watching our show; Ali said as they plopped down on the couch. “Want to make us some popcorn and watch with us?” Georgie asked. April was annoyed that she was the one who had to get up and get the snack as usual, but she agreed because it helped with her next prank. She poured popcorn into three small bowls and handed one to each of her sis- 62 pulled two plastic spiders out of her pocket and slyly dropped them into their popcorn bowls. ters when she got back in the room. “Popcorn and no drinks?” Ali asked, clearly annoyed. “Everyone knows popcorn makes you thirsty, April’ Georgie pointed out. “So, get yourselves drinks then April shot back. “I'm not getting up again” Yes, this is exactly how I thought they respond! April said in her head. Theyre so predictable. to get their drinks, April When the twins got up to get their drinks, April pulled two plastic spiders out ofher pocket and slyly dropped them into their popcorn bowls. Everyone knew the Ali was terrified of spiders, and Georgie pretty much always copied Ali. There was about to be a giant freakout. “AHHHHHHHKH,; Ali shrieked when she got back and saw what was waiting in her snack bowl. “Spider! Spider! I see a spider!” Georgie screeched.“Wait a minute, Ali calmed down slight- ly. “What are the chances we both find spiders in our bowls?” Georgie looked closer and declared, “It’s plastic!” ‘The twins whirled around and stared at the boys, who were cracking up once again. “It really wasn't us” Danny claimed when he saw their faces. “Yeah, right! If it wasn’t you guys, who else could it be?” ‘That's when April couldn't hold in her laughter anymore. She thought back on Rafi’s spit-take at breakfast, Ali and Geor- gie’ glitter-covered faces and Oscar com- plaining about Gotcha Land and laughed even harder. “OMG" Ali yelled. “Tt was April!” Rafi said at the same time. ‘The rest of her siblings looked shocked. “Gotcha, she informed them with a satisfied smile. “But how?” Danny asked. “It's not possible Georgie said. “Do you have any more pranks planned?” Oscar wanted to know. “A few; she lied, loving that they all looked nervous. “I might be willing to call them offif..” “If what?” her siblings asked in unison. “Ifyou repeat after me: April is nota fool!” she said, smiling as they all repeated it back. gw gw 63\ Use the clues to reveal 7 the jumbled-up words! ‘ AOENC S ongage O11 eer AO ENG (Clue: This isthe third planet from the sun, Clue: 'm tall and produce oxygen.

The idea that April showers bring May flowers likely comes from a 1600s poet who lived in Europe, where April is often a very rainy month. Once a cold winter has passed, you'll see some flowers bloom after rainfall hits in the springtime. Other flowers rely on the rain from the entire year to keep them alive, not just April.

When you look in a mirror, your reflection looks back at you. With an echo, a sound that leaves your mouth reflects off of a surface and bounces back to you in a similar way. How does it work? Well, for one, you need a large surface (like a big cave) and you need that surface to be far from the sound maker (like a deep well). When the sound is made in that environment, the sound waves. travel the far distance to the large surface, then bounce back and echo! Because humans have a liquid that exists © around our joints! Synovial fluid protects the joints of our knuckles. Since we move our fingers around all day long, that fluid gets moved around and bubbles form. When fe you crack your knuckles, that pop you hear is the bubble popping! If you've noticed 2 that you can’t pop your knuckles twice in a row, well, that’s because it takes time for new bubbles to form. If you're wondering if it's safe to pop your knuckles, there's no scientific evidence that it's dangerous... but it's possible the popping noises will annoy the people around you!

Each day lasts 24 hours — and these animals spend most of them fast asleep! Hours asleep: 20 Koalas would win any sleep- ing competition! That's all thanks to their favorite meal eucalyptus. While eucalyptus is tasty for koalas, it doesn’t do much to fuel them, which means they don't have a lot of energy. They sleep high in trees to save their energy for moving around, avoiding predators and finding food. Hours asleep: 15-20 You probably know that sloths move slowly, but did you know that sloths spend a lot of time not moving at all? While awake, they only move about 120 feet per day, so their their bodies have a hard time burn ing off the food they eat.

Girls’ World answers your questions. — Marisol, 8, FL Since elephants only have sweat glands on their toenails, they can't cool off the way a human does. So in order to keep | themselves from getting too warm in the hot climates that they live in, their wrinkly skin helps control their temperature. | The folds that are all over their bodies trap moisture. This helps cool elephants off because it takes longer for the water to evaporate out of the wrinkles. Scientists have also found out that African elephants are far more wrinkly than Asian elephants because the African Savannah is much hotter than the cooler Asian forests that their relatives live in. DO ANIMALS GET HICCUPS? — keisha, 20, 7» {ts very common for any species with a breathing system that's similar to humans’ to get the hiccups. Hiccups happen when something makes the diaphragm — the muscle that helps you breathe — randomly contract, or shrink. Air shoots up the lungs and your throat Shuts, causing you to hiccup. Kittens tend to hiccup quite a ot, but very Quietly. Horses, dogs and even penguins hiccup, too. But like ours, their hiccups don't last that long — only a few minutes, Phew! — Danielle, 11, MI Sort of! When parrots talk, they're mostly just repeating what they hear. However, scientists believe that while parrots might not understand everything they're saying, they can link words to meanings. For example, they can learn that, “Hi, how are you?” may mean that someone is entering the room. — Alissa, 9, AZ Poodles, border collies, labrador retrievers, golden retrievers and German shepherds are all known for learning commands quickly because they are some of the smartest dog breeds. Plus, each of these breeds has a long history (over rh Linenvenenied thousands of years) of helping humans with their work, so a over time, they've adapted to become even better at following commands than other breeds!‘cree Bap SMATIRSTOR MOUDA ESN ITN a ay wySUBSCRIBE Now!
