Ciao. I expected to see “si è rotto” here. So have you any advice as to when do we use “si” in connection with breakages;-) Grazie in anticipo… Floria7

You got it all right. “Giocattolo” is better than “gioco” for “toy” as the latter usually refers to an activity rather than an object.

And also “si è rotto” vs “è rotto” is spot on.
