My 18 month old just licked one of his big sisters Crayola silly scents felt tip in blue.. now his tounge is blue.

we’ve scrubbed his tounge with his tooth brush and he’s drunk a big bottle of milk..

i want to call toxicity help like but my husband says I’m being unreasonable because ChatGPT and the Crayola website say they’re non-toxic and I’m wasting peoples time when the information is online.

am I being over dramatic haha

My little one once sucked the scented crayola pen dry! This was about 5 years ago and she's fine. I did stress out though! Xxx

Do you seriously think they would make toxic children's crayons?????

Mine used to eat them ! Blue poo for days

He’ll be fine. They’re non toxic and kids will be licking them all the time.

You know what non-toxic means, yes?

Flibbertyfloo · 19/11/2025 18:53

Chill. Your child will be one of many who have done this. They are pens for kids. Kids do silly things. That's why they make them non-toxic.

Mumblechum0 · 19/11/2025 18:53

Nothing to worry about. They’re practically designed for kids to ingest 🤣
