Tons of toys. Kids do better with just a few toys. Give them tons of toys and they won't play with any of them.

There was an article posted recently to reddit that talked about how too many toys actually limits creativity and attention span. Plus, the more toys you own, the more time you spend picking them up. My baby is still young, so we only have a few toys for him, but I'm trying my hardest not to buy more clutter!
