[Toy Story] What's the minimum definition of "toy" required for sentience?

The new *Toy Story 4* trailer has a plastic spoon with pipe cleaner arms. It looks like something a kindergartener would make. And it's as alive as Woody and Buzz. And Sid's creations were sentient. Could I make a self-aware paper plate by gluing on a macaroni smiley face? Is all that's required is a kid plays with it? All those Buzz Lightyears in the toy store were never played with.  Are there sentient twigs or rocks that Neolithic kids played with because they vaguely resembled animals or people? What's the crudest or simplest self-aware toy possible?

Spitballing here but maybe anthropomorphism? For example, wooden blocks or individual LEGO pieces are probably not sentient, nor are peripherals like Woody’s lasso, Bullseye’s saddle, or Bo peeps staff.
