When cooking with toddlers make something that is simple, has few ingredients and a short prep/cooking time!
You want the experience to be fun, so you need to be prepared to cook without the expectation they will eat it, just as a means of exploring food. Although these apricot balls by Louise Keates are very hard to resist.

70g desiccated coconut + extra for rolling.
