On our first trip to Korea (when we went to pick up Ethan), we bought Ethan a set of children’s chopsticks and soup spoon (two common utensils in Korea). While we were there, we learned that children in Korea commonly begin learning to use chopsticks around age 3.
On our second trip to pick up Sarah last month, we saw a set of children’s training chopsticks and we brought home a pair for Ethan, featuring Percy from Thomas & Friends (based on what we saw in stores, Thomas & Friends is big in Korea).
The Edison Chopsticks are made by INP Korea. Some of their products are sold by Amazon (FYI, they make training chopsticks for adults, too!).
Recently, Ethan got to try out his pair, and he did pretty well …
Thanks for the link to the chopsticks! I’ll be getting my little guy some of these when he is a little older.
You’re welcome, Lisa. Thanks for the comment!
