You can buy a pair of chopsticks to help your kids master the fine art of eating without a fork, but why buy when you can make use of the wooden chopsticks you get for free when you order take-out? By using only the paper sleeve that they come in and a small rubberband, you can secure the chopsticks so that they are easy for a child to use - even if they are young enough that their motor stills are less than perfect. One benefit to teaching your kids to use chopsticks early is that they'll think they are a lot of fun and, since they'll be looking for chances to practice their newly honed skills, you can get them to eat a lot more veggies with your Chinese take-out food (since they're easy to pick up) than they ordinarily would!
