Australian dad, Jacob Strickling, has taken coronavirus lockdown parenting to the next level by building a jet ski ride for his two children in his back garden.

Jacob told Newsflare: "I found a Sea-Doo on the internet which was very cheap because it didn't have a motor and it was also very light. With the help of my son Samuel, we were able to pull it off the trailer, and then use the ride-on tractor to drag it onto a tarpaulin.

"Planks were placed around the tarpaulin in order to make a shallow pool. Water was added along with some blue food colouring.

"I then attached a long length of timber to the rear of the Sea-Doo and attached the other end to a motorised rotating arm which rocked the jet ski from side to side.

"Two jumping castle fans were then put in place as well as a hose to spray water onto the pilot and passenger."

Australian Dad Jacob Strickling built a super fun (and wet) jet ski-ride for his two children during this time of isolation due to Corona Virus. He found a Sea-Doo on the internet which was very cheap because it didn't have a motor and so was also very light. With the help of his son Samuel, they were able to pull it off the trailer, and then use the ride-on tractor to drag it onto a tarpaulin. Planks were place around the tarpaulin in order to make a shallow pool. Water was added along with some blue food colouring. Strickling then attached a long length of timber to the rear of the Sea-Doo and attached the other end to a motorised rotating arm which rocked the jet-ski from side to side. Two jumping castle fans were then put in place as well as a hose to spray water onto the pilot and passenger. The kids and dad had a wonderful time riding their new jet-ski from the safety of their backyard!
