Introduction: Easy Training Chopsticks
Here's a super easy way to make training chopsticks for your kids or yourself using only a rubber band and a pair of chopsticks from a restaurant like Panda Express!
Step 1: Separate the Chopsticks Prepare the Wrapper
Break apart the chopsticks if they come stuck together and roll up the wrapper starting at the closed short end.
Step 2: Place Wrapper Between Sticks and Secure
Place the rolled up wrapper near the top of the chopsticks (see picture) and secure with a rubber band.
Step 3: All Done!
Eat your Chinese food frustration-free with your easy training chopsticks!
Kids love these too!

A local restaurant in Sacramento and Davis (Mikuni Sushi) makes these and keeps them on hand for kids new to the chopstick experience. They even put them back into a wrapper so the kids get the same place setting as the grown-ups. Pretty cool!
