Playing with Chopsticks
Tiger girl posing with chopsticks.
It can be quite trying keeping kids occupied while waiting for food to be served in a restaurant. The few minutes waiting for the food can seem like eternity to a young kid. They get all fidgety after awhile and will request for gadgets to occupy them. If gadgets are not available the kids would use whatever is on the table to play with.

Chopsticks are the kids chosen item out of all the different cutlery to play with while waiting for food to be served.
Some ways they are used.
– as drum sticks hitting on plates and bowls and even the table for create “music”
– as props for photo taking
– to form different alphabets with
– as a makeshift pile of pick up sticks

I really like the way they frame her face in the first photo. Fun uses for chopsticks.

I think my two year old would poke his own eye out at this stage!

We ate at a Japanese restaurant recently and instead of picking things up with their chopsticks like they were supposed to, my boys just poked their food with them and ate off of one chopstick at a time. Ugh.

Adorable pictures! Pretty sure my preschooler would use them as drumsticks. She uses *everything* like a drum! lol!

My kids love to try eating with chopsticks. I never thought of letting them use chop sticks for play time. I think I will try it today.

Ha ha ha! You know kids, they can be impatient… 😀 You have to feed them with stuff to do every second!

My kids love to play with chopsticks, too!
It is so hard to wait for the food at a restaurant. I even get antsy! I’m always so thankful for the coloring supplies many places supply to children.

It sure is a skill, I love to see little ones eat with chopsticks. I’ve also seen many just playing with them LOL…
Have a great day and hope to see you around.

My kids LOVE chopsticks! And you’re right, waiting is so hard. usually we play a game – either the guessing game or the ‘what’s your favorite’ game – everyone gets a turn asking each other what their favorite (blank) is. It’s a really fun way to pass the time too!
November 13, 2013 @ 9:31 pm
Very creative use of chopsticks!
November 13, 2013 @ 11:08 pm
Fun! I especially like the Frankenstein face!
Happy WW!

I love all the ways the children used their chopsticks to stay entertained! We’ve only used them a few times — it is fun!

My first son (K) is now able to use chopstick. So proud of him. His little brother is still trying. Always unsuccessful that at the end he choses to use fork ha ha..
