I *think* that when she made them, they were trees, and as Manwe said:
Quote:

"When the Children awake, then the thought of Yavanna will awake also, and it will summon spirits from afar, and they will go among the kelvar and the olvar, and some will dwell therein, and be held in reverence, and their just anger shall be feared. For a time: while the Firstborn are in thier power, and while the Secondborn are young."

So the Elves awoke the sleeping Ents by awakening themselves and letting the Song of Yavanna in. Also, the Ents go when the Elves do. Hope that helps. I could be seriously wrong; I don't have the book on hand, and I tried my best for a correct quote, but who knows?
