Agree with the wooden chopsticks.
Hi smum,smum:
A tip for parents. My DS1 has been \"training\" using those special chopstick with the holder behind. So it is very easy for him. But I have so much difficulty trying to switch him to normal chopstick.
Then accidentally in a concentration class that he attends, the teacher gave them normal chopstick. And he was able to pick up marbles! I realized that those normal chopstick is those wooden square type. I think because it is square, it makes it easier to pick up things. We tried it out at home and he really is able to use it. Suggest that parents let the kids try using normal chopstick that is square instead of round. It does makes a difference.
thank you for the tip and great observation. I will take your recommendation and get them normal square chopsticks to minimize the initial the frustration. Thanks much.

That's what my mom gave me as a kid when I was learning to use chopsticks. -
Agree with using the wooden (or plastic) square ones as they grip better. What we did was to get the gals to feed themselves with it (not too hungry to feel frustrated), but hungry enough to be motivated to use it to eat!
It helped that they use it at Montessori like bud’s hub mentioned. We’ve also since used this for "slippery objects" like a game! They love it! -

Don't you wish our kids come with this meter that allows us to know exactly when they have just the right amount of hunger to learn to use chopsticks? -

He isn't very Montessorian you know.. :lol: -
I’m a lazy father. My son is 11, daughter 6. Both can use chopsticks because lunch is at grandparents who must have them learned. I never thought it was necessary.

Where can I buy a training kit for my twins? Do you know any store in Coney Island that sells quality and hygienic training kit?

I remember we bought one like this for my niece when she was a toddler. This helps her to practice using chopsticks and this is affordable too. It is available in Lazada.

Simply wrap the rubber band around the top of the two separated chopsticks until tight. Then fold or roll the paper wrapper and insert it between the two chopsticks. Make sure the wrapper is folded tightly.

I think it's nice - simple design and quite elegant.
