3 Year Old Mouthing Off

Question

My son who just turned 3 puts everything/anything in his mouth. It's been going on for about a year but it's become an obsession lately. When we're outside it's rocks, sticks, dirt, acorns. Inside he chews on toys, the kitchen table, paper, you name it. If I leave him alone for a second something will be in his mouth when I return. Some items he swallows (paper, acorns, dirt) but not all. The more I tell him not to the more he seems to do it. I'm not sure what to do about it or if this is normal for this age.
