Is this paint safe for children's toys?

Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, add a very small amount of water (a teaspoon per 500ml) and mix well. Ensure the lid is sealed when not in use to prevent drying.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply thin, even coats. Use a good quality brush or roller. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Ensure consistent pressure when applying.
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free from dust, grease, or old, flaking paint. Re-clean the surface and reapply, ensuring consistent coverage.
Low coverage, needing excessive coats
While self-priming, applying a second coat is recommended for durability and consistent colour. Ensure you are applying even coats and not overloading the brush or roller.
