My daughter has been coloring lately. She leaves her crayons where Peanut can get to them. Peanut has bitten off and chewed several crayons. Her favorite to chew is pink. I can't imagine what attracks her to the pink and surely it can't taste good. To me it looks like Pepto-Bismol.
She also took a bite from the purple crayon too. The purple one was of a different brand and instead of just chewing off a chunk, the color seems to disintegrate and next thing you know, she was covered in purple slime. Luckily for her and me, she had just finished lunch and had no shirt on so the purple slime just got on her chin and chest. It was off to the bath tub, which is her favorite place to spent time right now.
What about crayons are so appealing to babies? They can't taste good and Peanut spits and gags when she does bite into them, so why does she go back and do it again?
