Toothpaste for 4 year old - any suggestions?

Hello, I'm having problems finding a toothpaste my 4 year old daughter will happily use. She's bored of the Tesco strawberry flavoured one and we just tried the Colgate one (with a picture of Shrek on the front) which she says is 'too spicy' which I think means it stings her tongue!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a mild-flavoured toothpaste? Thanks

My DS2 didn't like the Colgate toothpaste for similar reasons. He said it was too 'hot' which presumably means hot in a similar way to spicy.

We switched to Aquafresh which I think is milder. I think it is called Little Teeth and is for 4yrs + - I'm not entirely sure as he is 7 now and has moved onto Big Teeth with his brother which is for 6+ but it comes in a box with a red trim.

Little Teeth here as well. Tried everything else and it was all too minty or just tasted vile. They're happy with Little Teeth.

Thanks for your speedy replies, I'll be sure to try the Little Teeth and the Tesco Cool Mint. Thanks again x

Pip, make sure it's the Tesco Steps one as it's for children.
