Chopsticks for kids. And maybe your Great Uncle Marty.

Chopsticks for kids. And maybe your Great Uncle Marty.
My kids eat pretty much little to nothing these days, but they do have a thing for sushi. Okay so it's really just rice with soy sauce and maybe some veggie tempura. But it's a start.

I think it's in part because of the training chopsticks we found them and how fun they make eating. At least when they're not fighting over who gets the one with the panda on it and who gets the butterfly. Another cool option are the Party People chopsticks from Fred, which are a little more expensive but a little more stylish. The colors look great, they're simple to use, and hey, if they keep my kids excited to eat something besides cold cereal I'm all for it. -Liz
