I second the suggestion of using acrylics. They tend to adhere to most
poly surfaces. You'll have to experiment.

And... if you go to a crafts store (like Michaels, for a Big Box
example), you can buy "non-toxic" acrylic powders for mix-your-own
paints for around $2 a pound. They mix with water. Stuff is supposed
to safe for school kids to eat though I don't think it's part of the
school lunch program yet. Just wait for the next round of budget cuts,
though.

Best,
