I think that if you are trying to interpret it in a positive manner, maybe the child is science oriented and is exploring the materials. Conducting experiments, learning cause and effect of different actions with different items.

Hi Allaudin
Breaking toys after playing with them for few days may not have any hidden psychological predisposition except the 5 to 10 years old's curiosity in exploring the functioning of the toys! beacuse since they have already played with them for few days they might be exploring further possibility and in the process ends up breaking them

Cheap toys aside, it could be due to a suppression or repression of  anger, or, frustration, or even attention seeking behavior. You could also ask them and go from there

Perhaps the child is thinking - how strong am I, can I break this toy?  tho speaking from my own experience my daughters did not break their toys. Perhaps it is something in the mind of the boy? or, perhaps, as noted above, the toys are cheap. Since that is a possibility, might it be better to rephrase the question and focus on a type of toy? plastic/wood/many parts/few parts etc?

Children love finding new purposes for objects and are very good at it, which may in some cases mean breaking toys to create something new or get a new experience from it. Also, children are scientists they seek to determine if they can recreate the same experience in different settings or using different tools. They will want to see if the toy car rolls as well under water as it does on the hardwood floor, or listen to hear if a Barbie makes the same sound on a drum set as a drum stick. This is based on my work in the early years field observing children and on research. Though, I am no expert.
