published 23 April 15

Every dad wants to give their kids the world - but these men have gone to the next level in the name of parenting.

Don't get us wrong, we love our dads and our other halves are doing a fab job, taking the kids to the park at the drop of a hat, starting a new line of business as the resident taxi driver and even getting involved in the odd packed lunch prep session.

But these menfolk have gone above and beyond with their hilarious, sweet and downright cute pictures and videos of life with their little 'uns.

From dressing up in princess costumes to attending tea parties, these brilliant dads are totally nailing this whole parenting thing. Fathers of the world, take note...
