use hot sauce

Wait for her to figure it out herself. Keep telling her that it is nasty. Eventually another child will tell her that too. put gloves on her hands and put tape around the wrist part.

You could try coating her finger in Alum powder that has a very bitter taste, but that is a little drastic.

same way all children learn repetition repetition repetition even if you feel its a mute subject or your tired of correcting her do it again but never make her feel self conciouse about it good luck

Let her do it...she can't hurt herself, and she is too young to understand the social implications of what she's doing. You'll spend a lot of hours pulling her hand away from her nose...just let her outgrow it herself. Ignore it. It won't kill her. She will stop or become better at hiding it after someone gives her a disgusting look or other kids tease her. Basically she should stop after she has an embarrassing moment.
yum becomes yuck!

My son is 2 1/2........I can't get him to stop either. It will pass when she is in a situation when other children or adults she doesn't know tell her it's nasty. My son was the same way and as soon as he started at preschool, the activity stopped. Be patient, we all used to do the same thing:)

Just put lotion or something on her hands so when she puts it in her mouth it will taste bad and wont do it any more tahts wat i did to my neice!!Hope my advice helps you......

As soon as she starts, tell her to stop and ask if she needs a tissue and teach her to blow her nose. Consistency is the key (as with all disciplinary techniques)

there was this stuff my mom use to use on me to keep my fingers out of my mouth when i was a kid it was red cross i believe it was a tooth ache medicine and it had a horrible bitter taste i eventually learned i suppose My daughter had the same problem with my granddaughter. She put Worcestershire sauce on her fingers and it broke the habit. Every time she started to do it again they told her that they would put that stuff on her fingers again. She said no I'll be good.

Ignore it, most kids do it and the more attention you bring to it the longer it will continue. Kids like attention good or bad.

put her in front of a mirror

you just have to keep telling her how nasty it is and in time she will stop. Pop her little had NOT HARD just enough to let her know that it is wrong, don't put hot sauce on it that would really hurt her. Don't freak out when she does it stay calm and tell no and do it every time and in time she will stop. Have you concidered that your child might have worms?
Many parents forget that young children will pick there nose if they have worms. Do you have animals?

Tell her she's pulling her brains out of her head through her nose and if she keeps doing it she won't have any brains left. I really told my son that when he was little and it made him stop. He never ate the boogers though....just picked his nose and flung them. When you catch her doing it, smack the back of her hand. Lightly enough so you're not smashing her hand into her nose, of course, but hard enough to get her attention. Say "No! Yuck!" sharply and let your tone of voice carry a strong message. It will take awhile, but she'll get it. Don't bribe her any more, or she will do it just to get the bribe from you.

have 4 booger pickers of my own

Don't use the Alum powder, if she puts her finger in her nose, it will burn her mucous menbranes. Just keep telling her NO, she's only 2 after all and this is actually normal exploritory behavior. She'll eventually figure out that "nose-mining" isn't acceptable behavior. Some kiddos have to wait until they hear it from their peers before they get the picture. The first time she does it in preschool or kindergarden, and kids go "eeewwww", she'll stop.

Nose picking
Uggh-just thinking of this creeps me out. How could a parent allow such a disgusting habit to have developed? Well, just about every child goes through a phase of picking their nose-they've either seen someone else do it and are mimicking the older sibling or even the parent. Often, though, little ones' fingers just naturally find their way to their noses (and mouths, ears and most other orifices of their bodies). It's natural to stick fingers in things, and if it feels good, or produces a substance (such as is often the case in nose-picking) well, even better! With little ones, distraction is often the best technique-remove the child's finger from the nose and hand her an item to hold-it's difficult to shove a ball up your nose if your fingers are occupied. When slightly older, hand the child a tissue and help instruct her to blow her nose using the paper. I've also had good luck with chronic nose-pickers by placing a small amount of petroleum jelly in the nostrils-many kids do not like the feel of touching the gel with their fingers, and it also helps with the itching, if that is a stimulus for nose-picking. For chronic nose-pickers I've had success with wrapping a band-aid on the index finger to make it harder to go up the nose, keeping the finger nails clipped short, using a "secret word or signal" to bring to the child's attention that he's engaging in the inappropriate behavior, or having the child wash her hands after every nose-pick. That gets real old real fast, and most children will cease the behavior in order to avoid having to hit the sink several times a day.

well you can try to put peanut butter on her finger and then tell your to pick her nose and see what happens. and she may like it or not i guess is just a thing they go through because my 18 month old does it too
