Child safe finish

Shellac is the classic child-safe finish. Reputedly, others are safe as well. Do a Google search; this has been discussed here several times in the last six months or so.

How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

a child safe finish. Is there a better way ? Say wipe on poly or something inexpensive I can use that wont hurt the little ones when they run around the house with a third of a rabbit puzzle hanging out of their mouths ?

I'd rather a non-edible finish. That way it'd go through untouched like the plastic it is.

The great guru Dredsner (sp?) hold the opinion that finishes that are cured are all safe if not ingested in outrageous amounts. even shellac will kill you if you drink it like water. That said. Shellac and Water based finishes are usually first on the "good idea" list
