Learning to use chopsticks is not an easy task, even for kids born in China. I remember using spoons and hands until about 5,6 years old. One summer I went to visit my aunt, and somehow learnt from her how to use chopsticks to eat. Now parents can start their kids earlier on learning to use chopsticks. There are tools designed for little kids. Here are a few that I found: This one is good for toddlers who start to use utensils to eat. The rings on the sticks help to form the correct finger positions. There are left hand training chopsticks and right hand ones. This set is a one step up from the prior picture. It is for kids who have formed the right finger positions but still need help on keeping the sticks parallel. When the kids are older and have better finger strength and coordination, they can start to use the regular kind of chopsticks. The ones made out of bamboo is less slippery than the ones made out of steel or plastic.
