Setting makes a difference. At daycare, he has other kids to play with and different stuff to drive the trucks over.

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.

he could also see how much fun the other kids are having with the trucks and decided to try playing with them after all

No ipads or tvs at the daycare either.
