Bushes with berries in my yard. Toddler is very focused on trying to pick the berries to throw them. Are these berries poisonous to people or dogs? (I do not allow him to eat them and am striving my best to prevent him from picking them at all)

Not sure about the berries, I’m hoping that someone else comes along to supply that info. I wanted to give you an idea about managing toddler behavior.
One of my friends had a bush in her rental back yard and she wasn’t allowed to do anything about it and her son would not leave them alone. So the mantra became “red berries are only for SQUISHING!” And never talking about eating them. So whenever he had a handful, they’d go to the handy rock nearby and squish them.
It’s not a perfect solution but perhaps it gives you an idea.
Winged euonymus. The plant is pretty toxic to consume. It’s also invasive in the US
