So as we suspect, is plugged chopsticks in the feet of the panda. Already not hold it great. Then it really keeps the chopsticks apart, and the child has "just" tighten the rods. Me eating with chopsticks 'fluently', I found that it required a positioning not very natural that I could not really explain ...
That said, the children love it is so cute, and considering the price you can not really complain.
