The OP asked for Primary Colours, are not Red, Yellow and Blue Primary colours?

For toys I found it impossible to get absolute guarantees of safety.  My solution was to use food dyes - easy to get in bright primary colours and easy to overcoat with child-approved coatings.

I believe there are minimum recommended sizes for children’s toys? I suppose this is to prevent them putting things in their mouths. That being the case how would they ingest wood stain? I’ve not heard of “Child approved coatings” only food safe?

There are specialist suppliers of paints and finishes for toys which meet the requirements of the "Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011". For example, Earthborn Paints. https://earthbornpaints.co.uk/paint-suitable-for-childrens-toys-and-furniture/
