So what you are saying is that he doesn't like toys, he likes friends? I can't say I am familiar enough with the concept to provide any meaningful commentary.

Or he literally wasn't sure how to play with them without an example. I liked construction/farming toys as a kid because I knew how they worked from personal experience. A kid who never saw a truck before wouldn't have anything to emulate, but another kid showing them...

A parent might even present the toy and try to play, but not know how to show it in a way that the kid picks up on.

So kids should be made to work in the farms and mines so they have a reference for playtime!

Theres a reason minecraft is the #1 game for 15 years. They just yearn for the mines.
