It shows the tot gripping a fork between her toes and managing to feed herself from a bowl of food on the table in front of her.

As she attempts to get the potato to her mouth, her mum can be heard offering words of encouragement.

It takes Vasiliny several attempts to get things right, but after carefully moving the fork between her toes she eventually gets it spot on.
