Maybe he is taking you literally as for the "go pick a toy". I have been in a situation just like that!! When I then said "sally honey you can have more, would you like to play with more beads?" she smiled and got up and collected more beads for her string.
I would pick out his favorite items and spend some time just talking with him about the toy. Ask questions about it like is that hard or soft? What color is that? This is my approach it seems to be helping with 1 of mine.
