Most online games are skinner boxes. Just press button over and over. With basically no creativity - or even the possibility of it.

A physical game is not like that. For a young child there is no such thing as a "mindless toy".

You don't need cheap plastic crap though, wooden toys and well made plastic toys can last generations.

Some baby/toddler toys look very much like Skinner boxes to me, intended primarily to keep the child occupied so the parent/carer doesn't have to bother with interacting.
