The next step up from Stage 1. The same ring-free silicone helper, now on a regular-length body, so growing kids can practice the way they will use real chopsticks. When they are ready, remove the helper and graduate to regular chopsticks.

Why you'll love it

• No finger rings: a pincer-style design that is easy to put on, take off and keep clean.
• Grippy "crocodile-mouth" tips: zigzag tips with raised dots hold small, soft foods.
• Regular length: close to everyday chopsticks, so the move to the real thing feels natural.
• Removable helper: take it off when your child is ready to graduate.
• Plant-derived body: made from a plant-based material (PLA biomass).
• Made in Korea.

Suggested age: about 36 months and up. Every child is different.

How to use: hold the chopsticks about halfway down, so the helper does not touch your hand. Wrap your thumb and index finger around the middle and rest the chopsticks on your ring finger. The silicone acts as a lever for a pinching, open-and-close motion.

Care: wash before first use. Take off the silicone helper and wash by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then dry well. Do not use a dishwasher, a sterilizer, a microwave, boiling water or steam.

Cautions: use only under adult supervision and only for eating. Do not let your child play with the chopsticks in their mouth. Check the silicone helper often and throw away any cracked or broken piece at once.
