Greetings Leah,

Amaco makes a number of food safe/kid safe glazes. Check your art
supply catalogs. All catalogs have them clearly marked.

Here is some information about their glazes:

Here is a complete 47 page pdf file:

You can order a free copy:

Some of the LG series are not food safe. All of the F series are safe for food.

I have had good luck with all F series glazes.
