Collection: Training Chopsticks

Practice Chopsticks are Great Family Fun!

If you want to engage the family and teach your kids a different way to eat, while building foundational dexterity and motor skills, then kids training chopsticks are a great way for some dinner table fun!

How to Use Practice Chopsticks for Kids

To teach your kids how to use chopsticks can be very daunting–they barely know how to use a spoon or fork! To get started:

1. Start your kid off with holding just one chopstick like how they would hold a pencil.
   
   
2. Next, slide the second chopstick under your thumb, and over your ring finger and pinky finger. Use your ring finger and pinky finger to “wedge” against and hold the second chopstick in place. Pro tip: the second chopstick (bottom one) does not move. You want this chopstick to stay as stationary as possible
   
   
3. Gently flex your fingers so that the top chopstick is moving up and down and meets the bottom chopstick at the ends of the chopstick

Where to Buy Children’s Chopsticks

When looking for children’s chopsticks, look for “attached tops” on your chopsticks, where the chopsticks are conjoined with a spring or lever. This enables the “flexing” movement of using chopsticks to become easier.

Our collection of training chopsticks includes both colorful, decorative and cute chopsticks and also more modest versions as training chopsticks for adults. They're also dishwasher safe!

Training Chopsticks for Adults

As mentioned earlier, training chopsticks aren’t just for kids! For many, using chopsticks for the first time is a strange feeling. Don’t be discouraged by the cute and colorful designs–any training chopsticks are a great way to get acclimated to using these awesome tools. For adults, look for training chopsticks that are slightly longer, as kid's versions can often be too short.
