I would honestly say to put something on it that they don't like. for instance hot sauce or something like that. my mom used to put ketchup on stuff I would try to chew (like my nails...eww)

Hmm like rachel said, I would try aversion techniques... put something really disgusting tasting on the erasers, castor oil? apparently they have bitter tasting sprays for pets?

try keeping erasers away from your kids and ask the doctor if they have pika(I'm not sure if the spelling)

Yes...too many erasers, and their turds will bounce out of the toilet.

Dear myflower_myflower,
Probably the biggest problem would be the germs on the erasers. I think they would be able to pass the rubber. To avoid this remove the erasers and pound down the metal parts flat. Better yet...buy pencils with out the erasers. If this is in a school setting request they buy the eraser-less ones.
Sue...good luck

Yes there are health risks. For one thing, the child can choke to death. Children should never put anything in their mouths except food. It is different when you are a baby because they don't know any better. But any child over three years of age, should be trained by their parent/guardian not to do so and the importance of the dangerous tool.
