Chopsticks

Today we spent some time trying to learn how to use chopsticks. It is pretty challenging. We practiced by trying to pick up cut up pieces of sponges. We will continue to practice this skill. It is a great way to improve our hand-eye coordination and our fine motor skills.

Gift Idea
Since the crew has been so excited about all the things we have been learning about China, a pair of chopsticks might make a good holiday or birthday gift idea. My daughter had a set like those on the right. There are many kinds of fun "training" chopsticks. Not only are chopsticks fun, but they can help with manual dexterity and that will help improve handwriting. If you are looking for a gift idea or party favor, these might fill the bill.
