Grapes are a serious choking hazard for toddlers. Unbelievably irresponsible post. https://www.popsugar.com/moms/Correct-Way-Cut-Grapes-Avoid-Choking-Hazard-39128166
I seriously don't understand why you are encouraging whole grapes for creative play now and only consider cutting the grapes for eating. The first thing a lot of toddlers will do is put things in their mouths when they are playing. Again, grapes are a serious choking hazard. Someone might just look at the pic and try it. Could you not take out that idea or show a pic with grapes cut up.

If your toddler is at the stage where they want to help with everything, have them help out with safe parts of cooking such as rinsing vegetables or mixing ingredients. This encourages a good relationship with food and home cooking.
