This is something that I've seen vary dramatically from person to person. Some people began to stop playing with toys at around nine, others eleven, some I've even heard have gone into their twenties before fully ceasing. For me, I think the last time I actually "played" with toys was around age twelve, which, as far as I've understood, is one of the later ages.
Expression of imaginative ideas was something that I didn't find possibly through any other form but usage of toys. They were, in reality, a conduit that I projected adventurous concepts I could never actually perform. Because of that, I never really felt myself desiring to stop until I was older than a lot of kids.
So how about the rest of you?
-
I don't really play with toys anymore but I should start building lego sets and make dioramas with action figures again. I like them, they spur imagination in me and I simply enjoy it.
-
I still play with toys.
-
When I was around 8 I stopped. Then at 10 stopped completely.
-
*in falsetto girl's voice* Oh, I'd never go with you! You're evil. Yet...I find you strangely attractive... *in deeper voice* That's because you are druish, and attracted to money and power, and I have both. *in falsetto girl's voice* Your helmet is so big... *in dorky voice* Hey, I'm Lonestar, stay away from my girlfriend! Bwsh! Ahhhhh!

Your mom still plays with toys. They take 6 D-Cell batteries.
-
When I was in 6th grade I believe, so 11? Can't really remember the exact age.
-
Do legos and video games count as toys?
-
I still like guns and stuff.
-
I still sometimes buy toys.(I'm thirteen) I don't actually play with them too much. I just display them on shelves.
-
When I was about 12 and 1/2. I still build stuff with Legos sometimes, (best toy ever am I right?). And I collect Halo action figures.
-
13, gotta' love them Bionicles.
-
~12. I just one day decided I was too old for them and donated most of my toys, but kept my Legos. Eventually about six months later I stupidly threw my Legos in the trash. Still hate myself for that.
-
Occasionally I still dick around with my Gundam action figures (is the show still around?) or Legos and such.
-
Tomorrow..
-
One does not simply keep their Force FX Vader lightsaber on a shelf, collecting dust.
-
Never, I love playing with nerf guns and stuff when me and my friends are bored... sure we get some weird looks bit it's fun as hell to do it. I'm 24 and I'm proud to say I still act like a kid sometimes.
-
....Stop?
-
It would have to be pretty late for me, I have quite a bit of imagination that only playing with toys can help create the scenario IRL.
-
Probably around 12, I use to love playing with hot wheels.
-
I don't really know about 'playing' , but I always like posing these guys in cool positions.
-
I used to play with a bunch of Hot Wheels cars. Now, I just have them on display on a shelf in my room.
-
The only toys I really played with were cars and that was until about 8. I moved on to video games after that and haven't looked back.
-
I still do. 0_0
-
I still do, when I'm with my girlfriend...
-
I stopped around 4-5. I didn't really fancy toy cars or anything, I just liked to play Halo.
-
12, I think?
