    Really depends on where they are made.
    All of the major manufactures make sure that they are non toxic, but some of the cheap Chinese makes aren't as good.

    If it was only a small amount there really isn't anything to worry about, except coloured teeth.

    Kids have been eating Crayons for decades. But, like Curlyben mentioned, get the good ones, but extra!

    I've known kids, and a few cats and dogs, that would eat crayons y the boxful if someone let them. As long as the box says non-toxic, you're safe. I wouldn't suggest letting her eat crayons like candy, but the little bit she ate shouldn't hurt her any. The government has regulations in place to monitor rather or not something really is non-toxic.
