MrsN Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I use deco art - americana acrylic paints when ever I paint anything. It is non-toxic. However, now that you mention it, I don't know if it is officially safe for toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Finn Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have seen a spray paint that says it is safe for use on toys. Non toxic. It was at a Walmart paint department here in Texas. Huntter2022 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Finishes are tightly regulated in America (and most anywhere else I'd imagine except for a few problem countries). Once FULLY cured, all finishes should be safe. However, I do like looking for an acrylic spray that specifically says Acrylic. I think Krylon makes one that I've used in the past. You can also use craft paint as suggested above and use an airbrush to paint the toys. They also make thin airbrush paints (again, stick with acrylic) that work well. You might want to consider coloring wood with a food coloring (or even Kool Aid), then finishing with beeswax/mineral oil finish if you're concerned about kids chewing on them.

Jim Finn Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 There are rules regarding toys that require testing of each type of toy to show that they were finished properly. This is why I stopped making them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
