From what I have read and experienced with my own child less is more. Less toys to play with (say 5) gives them more intense play and makes them benefit more from exploring and learning with them.
My boys were both always quickly bored with toys. As soon as they figured out how it worked they lost interest. I was concerned that it indicated a problem. It turns out that it can be a sign of giftedness or advanced problem solving ability (at least that is what they told me at the time). It has since proven to be true as my eldest has been assessed as gifted in problem solving and logic and my youngest is showing signs of advanced intelligence as well.
They don’t necessarily need fancy toys, just new and different or things that are a little bit tricky keep them both entertained for longer. Building blocks (duplo, lego etc) and Coloured pasta have been a winner in my house because they can be used in so many different ways (but not till you can stop them from eating them). Putting different things in bottles of water or plastic jars (rice, bells, coloured pasta, flowers, etc) when they are babies and changing them regularly can be an endless source of ‘new’ for them.
Babies don’t need much in the way of toys. Once they’re a bit older (around 1yr) u could fill empty water bottles with rice to make a shaker etc. this will keep bun happy
