How do I explain ?

I had a right side mastectomy 12 years ago and wear a silicon prosthesis in a normal bra.
I also wear normal clothes with V or sometimes square necklines as these styles suit me better than high /round necks. Also I hate the trapped feeling high necks give me.

The problem I have is that my small grandchildren like to pull at the neckline of tops and will sometimes stick their hands down my cleaveage. They then encounter a very strange boob and look at me questioningly. The older ones have tried to pull the boob out and I divert their attention -successfully so far.

But any idea how I explain what the 'thing' is doing down grandmas top? How did it get there and why

I dont want to say the wrong thing and either make them more inquisitive or scared.

If children are shoving their hands down your front it makes no difference that you've had a mastectomy; they need to be told not to do it. I'm surprised they haven't been corrected before. I wouldn't explain about the op you've had because the the behaviour is unacceptable anyway. its bad manners. Imagine if they did it to the playgroup leader or an elderly neighbour for example?

If the question is real. There is a very simple answer to the problem. Wear higher necked tops when with your grandchildren. That way they will not be able to put their hands down your sweater and fumble your breasts. After a few months they will; get out of the habit and you can go back to your usual tops.

I think the OP is making a mountain out of a molehill, so to speak. Whether you have had a mastectomy or not it is inappropriate for your DGC to be fumbling your breasts. You should have stopped it before it started. Just stop it now by the means suggested. No explanations are necessary.
