dd has 2 tubs in the family room and if they are full she never really plays with anything as the bigger things sit on the top, if the tub are a 1/3 full she plays with most things, i went out and bought dd some jungle animals and we have been giving her 1 every few days this way she learns the names, she loves them, we sit them in a special place in her room, what about a tea set, but really i think if you limit the amount of toys and then rotate you may find an improvement, also i try to leave dd as much as possible to play on her own, try to sneak away when she is happy and then be happy to return when she needs you, then sneak off again, also i find if everything has its place and is put away dd love to destroy it all, so what we do it clean everything up before nap and night sleep, this way she has heaps to do when she wakes, i really hope something i have said helps as i can really feel your frustration, oh do you go to a play group with gianna, we started about 6 weeks ago and dd loves it and the best thing is they have load of stuff set out and you don't have to clean up the mess like at home
