The chopstick solution search continues. DT reader Deanne suggested these rubbery circus people who use chopsticks as stilts. I'd seen them on Daddy*Drama a while back, too, If you order over $100 worth of these Chopstick Kids from Modern Tots, you get free shipping! At $6 a pop, that means 17 Kids. Good luck with that.

Our 2 year old has a set of the Combi Successories Training Chop Sticks and can use them surprisingly well (we got them as a laugh, and were shocked when he could actually use them). They really are user/toddler friendly - he can even put them in his own hand correctly. I think they sell them at Baby Universe.
