Does it say anything on the bottle about if it goes in your mouth?
Rinse her mouth out with water.

What's the name of the paint?

It will be fine, they bear in mind that they are for children when making them so they are completely non toxic, your only worry would be an allergic reaction or if she drank all the tubs!

Yes, she'll be fine. :)

Most household paints are safe if ingested. Just rinse out mouthbwith water. Can cause vomiting or diarrhoea.
Children's paint will be much less toxic. Might not taste good though.
She's just exploring her environment. Don't worry.
