Huey also has a toy addiction. No matter what you are doing, he will bring a toy & "whomp" me in the foot with it, then grab it & run out of reach if you reach to grab it to throw. (The bathroom is one of his favorite places for this...) One game we play is "bring the correct toy". He knows the names of each of his toys-raccoon, lobster, squirrel, squeeky-ball, frog, etc. I will dump all the toys together in his toybox, go out of the room & tell him which toy to bring. If he brings the right one, he gets a treat. He is right 75% of the time. I will hear him digging through his toybox to get the right one. When he gets new toys, we just replace existing ones. We try not to add new ones to the mix, partly to avoid confusion, but partly because he has way too many already. If he has several strewn around the room, be will bring the right one then, too. It is play but I think it is also mental stimulation. Even though he doesn't get new different toys, he thinks anything fuzzy belongs to him, slippers especially. Another favorite game is "bring me my shoe" which he hears after he has snatched my slipper off my foot & gone running away with it. He does not want to quit playing, either, especially when treats have been involved. (Little begger...) He is so much fun, though...
