How do you know when a Child outgrows their toys?

[PMJ]

Stupid question, but I just don't seem to know...or really never thought about it.

When do you know your child has outgrown their current toys? DD plays w/ her toys just fine now and shows interest in them. I definitely do think I need to get rid of her peg/chunky puzzles and get her some new ones that others mentioned in another thread.

What toys does your 2.5 - 3.5 yr old like?

If I notice DS hasnt played with a toy for awhile and I think he has outgrown it, I put it in the closet. If he doesnt ask for it in two weeks, I pack it away or donate it.

The toys he plays with every day are his 48 piece M&D tray puzzles, train set, duplos and kid knex. Most days he also plays with his Little Tikes grill and play food, Little People car ramp and cars.
