I might say "Sorry Johnny, you can only play with the toys in this box/shelf until I see that you won't take toys from the babies. Maybe this afternoon you will be ready not to take a toy someone has in their hand. We'll see." Just keep repeating and doing it. When you think he may be getting it then give him a trial and tell him "Well let's see if you are ready."
I would send him elsewhere to cry. We have the 'crying step' where they can cry all they want but can't get up until they are finished. After a time or two all I have to say is "It is okay to cry but please go to the crying step and cry." They almost always stop crying just at the mention of it.
