Sometimes normal: This can sometimes be normal in young children as they are exploring their environment. However, eating non-food substances all the time can also be a symptom of anemia and iron deficiency. I recommend you get her checked for anemia. If she is not anemic, continue to correct the behavior and give her other things to play with that she is not tempted to eat. It should eventually stop.
