Hide one’s kid playing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doeskin

'hide' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'ones kid playing' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ones'+'kid'='oneskid'
'oneskid' anagrammed gives 'DOESKIN'.

(Other definitions for doeskin that I've seen before include "Type of leather" , "Leather from deer" , "glove material" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
