Please Help. What are some child/baby safe paints?

I posted this rather late a few days ago and am trying this again. Here is what I posted before.

"I'm working on project for a child of one and am looking for paints for the project. Because the project is the making of wooden toys, I realize that there is more than a slight chance the child in question will be putting these toys in their mouth and biting down on them. I'm less worried about them swallowing and choking on the toys as I've been making sure there are no small parts and the toys are solid. But I'm more concerned about the paint on the toys being a hazard. What would be child/baby safe paints I could use? "

Please help, this is something I'm working on for Christmas.

Update:

Thank's to Scott for point out something I forgot to put in to the question. I'm concerned with paint chipping off and being harmful if swallowed. Obviously I don't want a lead paint, but what kinds of paint/paints would be safe when dry if a child chews on the toy?
