Kids do weird things. I wouldn't worry about it. LOL.2 1/2 yr. old is licking her arms,hands,soap,metal pole, craves frozen baby teether, ice - why?
she's learning what everything tastes like. she's 2 1/2, she's going to do these things. as long as she's not wanting to taste all the cleaning supplies or other harmful things , not a problem.
children learn differently and want to learn everything all at once (and DO).
when i was this age my brother introduced me to 9v battery. (i already ate raw onions, lemons, garlic, chili peppers. i had a rock gut.)
no need to stop it unless it becomes harmful, really. remember, the more you try to stop it, the more she might do it. (you know, that attention thing. some is better than none)
read (a book) about indigo children. don't remember the name or by whom, but the subject should get you somewhere. i found it insightful.
She is teething!!!!!
Some small children have a condition called pica - they'll put things in their mouth to balance some kind of deficiency in the body, for iron, for example. Look it up.
It can also be that the child is teething, and is feeling an urge to chew on things to help the teeth.
Psychologists would note that the child is in the oral stage of development, and is seeking input from stimuli via the mouth, the part of the body he/she first used for interaction with thr enviroment.
It could also be that the child is just curious and as to putting random things in it's mouth, two words. Why not.

Sounds totally normal. She's only had her taste buds for two and a half years. She's curious. Plus, things taste different when your younger. She could be attracted to the funny, salty, cold, soapy tastes.
She may be teething, or she may have some kind of dietary deficiency (vitamin or mineral). Ask your doctor.
Ask a pediatrician.
sounds like she has a eating disorder called PICA.people with this eat all sorts of weird stuff.they have a web site that has a good amount of info.just type in PICA.with your search engine.if you don't have one that you use try GOOGLE search engine.after GOOGLE appears click on web.you should know how.but you need to correct her from eating stuff if she is, it can be deadly.a lot of reasons people eat crazy things is being low on iron and the body starts craving for something else they are not getting in their diet.I've read people eating clay from river beds,cigarette ashes etc.
SHE'S JUST CURIOUS
