No. I did not eat playdough, crayons, bugs, dirt, glue, etc. as a kid.
I did lick the playdough once though. And I sniffed markers and crayons before using them. I also sharpened my pencils and erased constantly.
I did eat a dog biscuit though.
LOL

Yup... Thought it was Gumby...Sorry... Couldn't resist...
Now or the serious part...
PEANUT BUTTER PLAYDOUGH
1 c. peanut butter
1 c. honey
1 c. powdered milk
1 c. oatmeal
Mix the above ingredients. The children can make shapes out of the "playdough" and eat the creations.
Moral to the story... You can eat playdough but you shouldnt swallow gum.

I dont normally chew gum, but I was chewing on a pack today and I was thinking about how ever since I can remember when I was young I've swallowed probably almost all of the gum I ever chewed.
Once I heard about a case where a doctor looked at a patient and a large lump of gum collected in his stomach. Sounds like rubbish, but is it?
I'm just curious if anyone knows for sure. Just one of those brain farts I was wondering about :-P.
I've looked at several webpages out of boredom on this subject and some say it is an urban legend, or a myth... and others give accounts of "real life" doctor visits.
Dr. David Milov, author of a study on children and chewing gum said: "The child may be thought to have a slow colon but go unrecognised as having 'the works' gummed up." There had been several cases of young children with bowel blockages that had brought to his attention that a study need to be made of the problem.

A whole tub once when I was three or so. It tasted different than homemade playdough I normally had and sometimes ate, so I was kind of fixated. I threw up yellow for the rest of the day. It was horrible.

Yes. My mom used to make homemade playdough for me when I was little. It always tasted salty! ;)

I use to eat the colored chalk as a kid. I thought it was candy because it was bright pink.

Nope, I only ate school paste. My daughter used to enjoy a crayon every now and then. She used to have very colorful poop.
