Default Looking for Child / Toddler safe finishes

Looking for some "toddler safe" finishes for some wood working. By
"toddler safe" I don't mean that this is safe for a kid to apply, but
is not going to be toxic if a kid sticks the finished piece in his
mouth. Or chews on it, or any of the things which small children do
to explore their world.
E.G., lead based paint is obviously straight off.


Can't buy lead paint these days. Any finish today, once cured, is safe.
Shellac is best as it is used as a pharmaceutical coating.
