An adorable video from the Newsflare archive of parents employing an ingenious Jenga toast game to help get his children to eat breakfast.

Father-of-two Wayne Stephenson from Osmotherley, North Yorkshire in England says he came up with the idea after his two young girls were less than keen to eat the food.

After trying lots of different tactics to help Kesinee, 3, and Elaina, 11, he started stacking slices of toast like bricks from the popular family game Jenga.

"Breakfast was just getting pretty repetitive and boring so I decided to spice it up a little," Wayne later wrote online. "I began cutting up the toast into soldiers and making it a free-for-all in the middle of the table, but then I had the idea of having a bit of fun with it.

"I arrange the sizes and alternate them to make a sort of Jenga tower - they absolutely love it. We have peanut butter, plain and Marmite. Since we've started playing Jenga with it the girls have been eating more toast, it sets them up properly for the rest of the day.

"I tried it a few times before getting it right - there's a bit of a knack to the way you place the slices. You have to keep rotating it in a certain way to make way for the crusts.

"The only downside is I'm sick to death of toast now! My family can't get enough!"
