To just … not have toys?

Obviously we’ll have to have some, but my DS(4) just doesn’t seem to play with them.

Christmas presents included a toy ice cream van and he just gets everything out and then it ends up discarded and thrown everywhere, so bits get lost and it’s unusable. This is the same as everything we get.

He has a few toy trucks / cars type things but doesn’t really seem to play with them.

I know people will say not to let him or to discipline him but he just ignores us … doesn’t solve anything.

I don’t know what to do really. It kind of seems pointless having toys if they end up unusable but on the other hand he has to have some things.

What does he play with ? What does he do when you’re at home and he’s entertaining himself ? Does he just run around or sit or what ?

A toy ice cream van? Would never pass my door.
Decent toys not sh*t please.

If he doesn’t play with his toys what does he do to occupy himself?
