Heck, I totally use my chopsticks all wrong. So embarrasing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796713 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 08:14:28 +0000 regberadaisy 1796713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: impressive! Does she use it properly? My niece who's 11 totally uses it like a ABC. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796711 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 08:13:45 +0000 Alivoo01 1796711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 2 years would be a good introduction age. A friend of ours daughter was 3 when she mastered using chopsticks like a pro. I was so impressed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796338 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:22:12 +0000 littleveesmommy 1796338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pair of training chopsticks that have the holes for the thumb, index and middle finger so the child learns the correct form but we didn't give them to DD to try until she was around 26 months when she showed interest in our chopsticks. She can use them pretty successful now! </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006H9JIHY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1407115305&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SY200_QL40" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006H9JIHY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1407115305&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SY200_QL40</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796317 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:04:09 +0000 mrsjyw 1796317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds has a training pair.

She only is just mastering the fork and spoon though! She is nearly 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796258 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 19:10:23 +0000 regberadaisy 1796258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: absolutely! M has been using hers off and on for about 6m. Not correctly but it's been introduced. I wouldn't expect her to use it properly till much older like @Andrea: daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796255 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 19:09:53 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1796255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the training ones at age 2. LO loves using them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796240 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 19:01:14 +0000 pastemoo 1796240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so training chopsticks is totally reasonable for 2 years old? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796235 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:57:15 +0000 regberadaisy 1796235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly don't remember ever not using chopsticks? </p> <p>LO is 27m and I bring out the training chopsticks when I remember to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796232 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:54:58 +0000 Andrea 1796232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I got her training ones around 2. She is starting to get the hang of regular chopsticks now at 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796229 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:52:59 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1796229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm interested to hear people's opinions on this. I'm adopting a korean toddler and i registered for a pair of the training chopsticks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chopstick-use#post-1796186 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:14:34 +0000 pastemoo 1796186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Parents whose kid have tried chopsticks: when did you introduce them and how soon did they pick them up? Did you use a rubber band or "starter" spring-back starter chopsticks?</p> <p>I didn't figure them out till I was 5 or 6, but only used them occasionally. </p>
