I think this Vatican document is referring to the use of antidoron in the Roman Mass, and not the question at hand with a practice run for communion.
To learn more about antidoron try hear newadvent.org/cathen/01562b.htm

It certainly is not conclusive, but it’s definitely about Holy Communion. It would be best to check with the Bishop or an apologist. I agree with you that the last part of the instruction is definitely about the distribution of bread at Mass, but the general rule is broken by practice “communion.” It would be less of a concern with adults, or even if a teacher were distributing the bread, not a priest or nun.…
Chapter IV Holy Communion
…
2. The distribution of Holy Communion
…
[96.] The practice is reprobated whereby either unconsecrated hosts or other edible or inedible things are distributed during the celebration of Holy Mass or beforehand after the manner of Communion, contrary to the prescriptions of the liturgical books. For such a practice in no way accords with the tradition of the Roman Rite, and carries with it the danger of causing confusion among Christ’s faithful concerning the Eucharistic doctrine of the Church. Where there exists in certain places by concession a particular custom of blessing bread after Mass for distribution, proper catechesis should very carefully be given concerning this action. In fact, no other similar practices should be introduced, nor should unconsecrated hosts ever be used for this purpose.

I can’t say about seminary practice, but there was a beautiful, wooden, miniature altar in the boys grade 6 classroom in my elementary school c.1965. It had details like a “toy” altar stone.
The purpose was religious instruction. I can only guess that they were small to reduce cost, storage and transportation expense. I’m sure there were sacred vessels, neither consecrated or valuable, but those memories are pretty vague.

I think practice is valid. There are so many things for the child to think about that day. I would want them to be able to focus on what/who they are receiving rather than taste, texture, etc. Our pastor doesn’t really like it. We asked him to practice the children two years ago and he did but with great reservation. So last year, we didn’t invite him. We were careful to explain what we were doing and to distinguish between the the bread and consecrated hosts.
I think that religious sisters teaching in catholic schools have always done this.
