[Toy Story] what is the lower limit of toy sentience?

So obviously the anthropomorphic toys are sentient, and they can be recombined into mutant toys, and mechanical toys such as Etch-a-Sketch are sentient. What about a ball, is it sentient? Or a chess set, are the pieces alive? What are the limits to toy sentience?

If the child believes the toy can interact with his/her other toys.

Now according to this, etcha-sketch or the weird fishing pole shouldn't be sentient, but perhaps the kid doing the imagining found a way.

Based on this criteria, even a ball could be sentient. Even a mound of clay could be sentient. Hell, the clay container could even be sentient! Its magic based so logic isn't important.
