There’s another contender for the best dad ever role award.

Kids often have big dreams of their dad one day making them a tree house, or even just putting up a tent in the garden to make into a den. This kid lucked out.

His dad was challenged to create the ultimate kids’ hideout by eBay by ordering all supplies from the auction site, and man did he deliver.


Knowing that his son has a big love for the Jurassic Park movies, Dad Matthew, who usually makes props for movies, decided to bring the films to life for him.



He created a triceratops hangout out of a whole load of polystyrene, Jesomite to make it strong, and a bundle of cool gadgets to keep his son entertained.

14 days and 22 blisters later, Matthew’s creation was complete.

‘It’s the best present ever!’ his son declared when he saw the ridiculously cool hangout for the first time. Old fashioned Wendy houses are so out, now it’s all about the dino with a built in viewing dome, a lounge area, a drone and walkie talkies. Oh and it farts. Yep, the hideout farts.

‘It made me laugh so much I actually pumped!’ his little lad admitted.

Well done dad. We applaud you.
