I cut the little ducks from Steve Good. I finish them either mineral spirits or tung oil. Once dry both are food safe and pretty durable. As for coloring them, I would think any dye would work, I leave mine natural.

Food grade mineral oil  would bring out the grain and be safe......Like Wayne stated, a lot of finishes are safe when fully cured.

Lemon oil is another.

Food coloring makes a good stain. Mix, bland several colors to get whatever you want, or just use the basic red, yellow, green, blue, etc.

Jerry, to protect them, I would use mineral oil. To color them, I would use food dye or colored felt tip markers. I use the markers a lot on turned items, the colors are always nice and bright.
