Chopsticks are something you will use for the rest of your life, so we want you to have fun learning how to hold them correctly. "Nonoji's First Proper Chopsticks" was born from that wish.
It is designed to help children who have finished weaning and are starting to learn how to use chopsticks to train correctly and effectively.
The series of movements required to use chopsticks should stimulate brain development as well as the development of hand muscles.
This product comes with a silicone coupler (connecting aid) to keep the two chopsticks in balance.
By practicing the same movements as when using regular chopsticks, children will develop the hand muscles needed to use chopsticks and the brain's ability to move them correctly.
Even when the coupler is removed, the child's hands will remember how to use the chopsticks, allowing them to smoothly graduate from using training chopsticks.
In addition to the SS size for children from around 2 years old, we also offer the S size for children from around 5 years old.

New hand-holding structure supports correct gripping

The chopsticks are connected at two points, in the middle and at the back, with a very soft coupler material, creating a "hand-holding structure." When you hold the chopsticks, your hand and fingers are positioned correctly.
If you apply pressure while maintaining the correct grip, the tips will naturally move together perfectly.
The spring-loaded design allows the tips to open naturally, helping young children to open and close chopsticks, which can be difficult for them, and allowing them to focus on lifting the chopsticks and bringing them to their mouths.
While learning how to balance your grip and control your fingertips, you can also use chopsticks in your own ingenuity.

You can learn step by step, so you can improve naturally without any stress.

Two sets of couplers are included: soft and hard.
When first using the utensil, children will use the hard coupler, which provides good support, and learn to hold it in the correct position, grab food, and bring it to their mouths.
Once you improve, switch to soft couplers that offer more flexibility and train yourself to control the chopsticks on your own.
Once you have become more skilled, the final step is to remove the coupler and practice using it without assistance.
The unique feature of Nonoji's First Proper Chopsticks is that you can learn in stages according to your chopstick skill level.
You can learn how to hold chopsticks correctly from the beginning, so you can graduate from training chopsticks smoothly without developing bad habits.

    When we tried these chopsticks at the beginning of the program, children who struggled with other chopsticks seemed to find it really easy to use Nonoji's First Chopsticks. Not having to keep your fingers in place is a great thing. Children quickly get bored of regular chopsticks, but they never get bored of these. I think they're easy to use. These children hold them forever. The most important thing when learning something is that it's fun. This is fundamental. Once they can hold chopsticks, eating becomes even more fun. For this reason, we decided that Nonoji's First Chopsticks would be the perfect way to first teach children how to use chopsticks, and we adopted them at our nursery school.

    The good thing about Nonoji's First Proper Chopsticks is that they don't cause children to hold their chopsticks in an odd way. They don't have a cross mark. Corrective chopsticks can easily lead to bad habits, making it difficult to transition to regular chopsticks. But these chopsticks don't cause any bad habits. They're really great. Changing the coupler changes the feel, such as the hardness and the amount of pressure you apply, so they're very useful for children to progress.
