Wrote Kevin Kelly, "You remove the spring from a wooden or plastic spring clothespin, and insert it between two chopsticks — perhaps with a little grove shaved on the chopstick shank. The result is a pair that is easy to use and requires no life-long skill to pick up grains of rice."

Put the spring at the other end of the chopstick in the handle so that it forces the ends open rather than closed - a similar result can be obtained with a simple rubber band and the rolled-up paper wrapping from the chopsticks. You then press to pick up the food and relax to release, which is more natural. Plus rubber bands are easier to carry around. Both my kids learned to use chopsticks this way.
