You could use shrink film and show them how to make their own bits of plastic. Custom game bits, stuff that goes with current plastic bits. It is a small simple thing, but you can start to show them how to hack their toys.
And while a lot of these suggestions are awesome they are basically toys that require hacking, any toy can be hacked with some tools. Think about a toy mod kit paint pens, shrink film, design your own stickers, iron on able printer paper. You can start giving them the idea that they can impose their aesthetic and desires on their stuff instead of just leaving it an unremarkable pile of plastic.
