There is an inextricable connection between human finger activity and brain function. The nerve area related to cerebral cortex and fingers is the widest, and the area of thumb motor area in the brain is 10 times that of thigh motor area. Finger movement can stimulate the motor area of cerebral cortex and make some creative areas more active. Therefore, in order to cultivate smart children, it is necessary to exercise their finger motor ability as soon as possible. Learning to use chopsticks in time can not only improve children's practical ability, but also enhance their intelligence.
