How many Cheerios can you balance on your baby?

Everyone's heard of Buckaroo, now try it with a baby instead of a horse and Cheerios instead of plastic props.

Started by Patrick Quinn of Life of Dad, a website dedicated to dads, this new challenge is very simple, but seems to have taken the internet by storm.

The first photo was shared on Instagram three days ago with the caption 'Can you top 5?' and has since attracted thousands of dads' attempts from around the world.

And those who didn't have the popular breakfast cereal to hand have improvised using fruit loops and waffles!

Or whatever they can get their hands on...

Even some dog owners joined in, although unsurprisingly they only managed three Cheerios.

Three days later and the kids are getting their revenge on their dads.

Have you joined the Cheerio Challenge?

If you have, how many have you managed to pile on your child - or dad?!
