WAG Stretches for a better toe point

Does anyone know some good stretches for a better toe point? All I can find is a foot stretcher, which is not what I need...

I saw a video once where Nick Blanton talked about sitting and bending the knees with the whole bottom of your foot contacting the ground, then slowly straightening the legs until you can't keep your feet flat anymore. past this, more toe pointing improves toe point

I have a hard time imagining this. Do you have a video?

There are a lot of videos made by dancers on YouTube which describe their toe point exercises. Many of them also use a stretchy elastic band, which they loop around the base of their toes and use for resistance. Give a few of them a go, and see which suggestions you like!
