The ‘Cheerio Challenge’ is the latest craze to sweep the internet, and it involves sleeping babies or kids.

Parents  – it seems to be mainly fathers, of course – all over the world are trying to outdo each other to see who can balance the most Cheerios on their sleeping child’s face.

Life of Dad’ founder Patrick Quinn kicked off the trend. He told BuzzFeed that he came up with the idea (which is just a bit of fun) when playing with his three-week-old son, Maxton.

We can’t say that we’ve attempted it ourselves but we’d say that it’s tricky enough and you certainly would need a steady hand.

The record so far appears to be 21 stacked Cheerios.

Here are some of the best snaps that have been sent in to the ‘Life of Dad’ Facebook page so far under the hashtag #CheerioChallenge
