Non toxic paint, safe for infants
Hey,
I've got a little 7 month old and she's finally starting to take an active interest in some of her toys.
I'm in the process of making her some rattles, and would love to paint them.
I've seen milk paint and chalk paint might be of use, but they're pretty expensive.
What paint is everyone using to paint their toys?

but this info may help too....
Cheers, crowie

Thanks.
The coconut oil gives a nice finish.
I have plans to create a teething ring/rattle so some bright colours would be preferable.
From what I've read Water based acrylics with a couple of clear coats should do the trick.

If you have not yet found a solution Mark, you may want to consider the Livos timber stains, especially the Kaldet transparent wood stain #270. it comes in vibrant colours and with a full ingredient disclosure, you know what you are using. The Kunos #244and #243 are both certified food and toy safe though. Whatever product you source, try to ensure it has no added "nasties" though.

Livos Kunos is fantastic as a finish. I use it prolifically, on everything, as a default. My only concern would be that it is a bitter as hell. The Kunos is a super sour/bitter solution, I wouldn't think an infant would enjoy sucking on that
Perhaps consider plain old mineral oil. Its 100% food safe, tasteless, odourless and preserves things well. Here is where I get mine: https://foodgradeoils.com.au/product...e-mineral-oil/
