Description
These panda training chopsticks pair two slim beech sticks with a cheerful silicone topper that holds them together at the top, so the pair opens and closes as one. The topper is a little standing panda in black and white, with round black ears, black eye patches, small black arms and feet and a bright red smile, and the natural pale wood of the chopsticks runs down from its feet. Put together, the pair measures 22cm long, 7cm across at its widest and 2cm deep. The topper itself is 5cm by 3.5cm and 2cm deep, and each chopstick is 18cm long once it is slid out.
Training chopsticks are a gentle first step for anyone learning to eat with chopsticks, and we think the panda makes a first bowl of noodles, rice or dumplings a lot more fun. Because the topper keeps the two sticks lined up, a learner can concentrate on picking food up rather than keeping the sticks in step. When they feel ready, the sticks slide out of the topper and work as an ordinary pair. They suit a family table, a takeaway night at home or a packed lunch, and the panda brings a smile to every meal.
The chopsticks are beech wood with a smooth natural finish, and the topper is soft silicone that grips the tops of the sticks. They are hand wash only, so wash them in warm soapy water, rinse and dry them straight away, and keep them out of the dishwasher. Sliding the sticks out of the topper lets you wash each part on its own and dry it well before you put the pair back together. They are light in the hand and slim enough to tuck into a lunch bag or a kitchen drawer. As a gift, we like them with a favourite noodle bowl, ready for a first go at the family table.
