We got Caitlin a pair of these chopsticks for beginners.
The rings for the fingers are actually detachable, to swap with the extra rings provided for left-hand use.
A young-family friend of ours (the distributor & importer of these) also has a daughter but almost a year older than Caitlin. As far as I know, their little girl is using it quite comfortably.
Caitlin however, does not have the dexterity required for it yet. But its design & novelty does keep her interested in trying, albeit leaving morsels here & there!
In any case, at under RM20 each, we figured there was no harm giving the little ones a headstart learning & mastering this traditional utensil.
Featured here is the 2-7 year old version. They have other models too for other ages, even grown-ups

Maybe I should get this – I have never mastered chopsticks and my wife delights in teasing me about it. I could practice secretly before taking the meal by storm at our next outing. Which given child care arrangements we are currently planning to be in around 2011 sometime
