I don't think i learned to use regular chopsticks until i was about 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084978 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 10:12:46 +0000 teamjse 1084978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Daiso is a Japanese version of a dollar store except everything is $1.50. I would love to send your LO some trainer chopsticks. I bought a ton of extras. Just send me your address on my wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084948 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 10:02:33 +0000 yin 1084948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 2, and I should bring out the training pair that I bought him last year. He might be ready to try them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084941 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 09:59:49 +0000 regberadaisy 1084941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: @mamabear57: what's Daiso? Is it a Japanese Home Goods store? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084940 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 09:59:14 +0000 sunny 1084940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up a pair at Daiso this week too! LO is still too young but I figured I would get prepared so this thread is super helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084866 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 09:36:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1084866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: she started at around 2.5. Her technique isn't perfect, as she crosses them to make them work for her tiny self. I have a picture of her doing it successfully the first time. At that point she had to use her second hand to lift them into her mouth. If I have time I'll upload it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084617 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 08:07:31 +0000 teamjse 1084617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo will be 14 months in a few days so I decided to give him some just for fun. I figured it couldn't hurt, I found some cheap and cute ones from Diaso. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084603 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 07:59:51 +0000 mrs.cookie 1084603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T has been using the kids chopsticks since he was about 18 months, he has some issues with fine motor so he's just stuck with them. I should probably try regular ones again now though!</p> <p>Eta: he just played with them a lot when he started, but by about 2 he was using them properly. I decided to not do my dad's guerrilla tactic of making him ONLY use chopsticks! Love my dad but that was tough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084601 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 07:59:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1084601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: How old was she when she started? Does she use them the proper way or just uses them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084595 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 07:56:54 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1084595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lala has been using regular chopsticks for about a year. We never got training ones for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-give-lo-training-chopsticks#post-1084545 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 07:26:10 +0000 regberadaisy 1084545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is 16.5 months and has shown interest in my chopsticks. Wondering what other parents have done? </p> <p>When did you introduce a pair of training chopsticks to LO?</p> <p>Obviously I don't expect her to learn how to use them. But I'd rather her "learn" with a child sized pair of chopsticks than adult ones! </p>
