This is the kind of present that a cool, slightly subversive aunt or uncle would give. The kids will like the chopsticks because they'll give them carte blanche to play with their food. The parents will like them because they'll increase fine motor skills, offer an educational opportunity and, most important, foreshadow a time when it might actually be possible to eat out again. Plus, the money you spend goes to UNICEF to promote world peace. Belinda Luscombe
