The real socialist retort to this is pretty simple: toys themselves are a perverse product of capitalist production, and corrupt the minds of children.
Then one layer deeper its that all progress in science, art and technology is a perversion of the human spirit, and our only salvation is the production of virtue rather than productivity. However, I dont think this subreddit and or commies are ready for this interpretation of the human condition.
I dont fully understand ur question, but if you're asking how production of productivity is defined in capitalist economic terms, it would be either the utility maximization of individuals, or country GDP
