i have 2yo twins who love using chopsticks, but as a wohm i don't have the time to endlessly wrap rubber bands around disposable chopsticks to help them. i found these online and they're great! even at 2yo, my boys are too old to use the stage #1 training bridge, but they love using chopsticks just like mommy and daddy and have gotten quite good at feeding themselves bite-size bits of chicken and sticky rice. we're asian and trust me, these trainers have made my life much easier. to boot, we can adjust the grip of the chopsticks to accomodate their little hands so my kids can really learn technique, and not hold them like little tongs.

Length:: 0:16 Mins

This is my 2 year old son. The video was shot within seconds of handing the chopsticks to him. I ordered these after the many times he would throw a fit because he wanted to use Mommy and Daddy's chopsticks. Highly recommended.

I learned to use chopsticks as a young child, because my parents loved to go out for Chinese Food. My mom had these little brackets with rubber bands (it was the 70s) that worked fine, but now as a mom, I know they were probably a pain. I got the combi sticks for my 4year old son, who loves them. The palm nub teaches the right form for using chopsticks alone- which he can do a little now. Eating with chopsticks is like holding a pen still and wiggling another pen back and forth next to it. This is what these sticks mimic. Unlike the one piece pinching sticks I've seen for kids. I'm ordering some more to keep in the car for last minute trips for Japanese!

I have a 2 1/2 year-old boy who sucessfully picks up pieces of tofu and meat with this pair of chopsticks. The support mechanism is great. I am Chinese and my husband is Italian. We want our kids to have both heritage. You have to train them when they are little! I have to get a second pair for my younger son.

I bought this for my son who is almost 3 years old. He was able to pick up food with the chopsticks right off the bat. He's still too young to understand how to hold the chopsticks properly but this is a great product. It would be nicer if it came with photo instructions of where the fingers should be situated in relation to the orange-colored gripper.

Both my children have a pair of these. They are 5yrs and 21 months old. I love being able to eat chinese food without them stealing my chopsticks and stabbing themselves or each other. Great in the dishwasher. They also come apart for different stages of use. Highly recommended!!

These chopsticks seemed ideal for my 3 year old, and they were great the first 2 times he used them. After only 2 uses, the rubber pieces in the clamp holding the chopsticks together broke and it never worked right again - one of the chopsticks would constantly fall out.

When we eat with chopsticks my daughter loves to use hers! The thumb rest didn't last long, but is not really needed for the child to use these. Sometimes the two sticks will press together and "overlap" but for the most part these work great and are great for daughter's motor skills.

I bought these for Christmas presents. My 3 yr old daughter could only use chopsticks to stab food until now. She was able to eat with them the first time she picked them up. They are a great training tool and by removing the attachments can be used in three ways as the child masters the skill. If they make these in adult size I will buy more to give as gifts. I am very happy with purchase and recommend for any child wanting to learn to use chopsticks correctly.

I am 25 years old and have been trying on and off for years to master chopsticks. Or rather, to have a novice use of chopsticks in order to get through a Chinese meal without a fork. I'm a failure. So far, I'm still using the handgrasp on these chopsticks but I've only had a chance to use them once. I've been playing with them and I'm finally understanding what I've been doing wrong all these years. I hope I can improve but just so you know, these chopsticks don't have to be just for kids!

EDIT: I did want to amend my review by saying that I have VERY small hands. While the idea of these chopsticks is great for kids and adults the rubber hand grip may not fit larger adult hands. I'm hoping that I can get other chopsticks to fit in place of the included ones because the ones that come with the set are very short and I think that makes them harder to use. Still better than anything I've tried so far and I made it through most of meal before giving up the first time :)
