If object is sharp or metal object or corrosive or child having abdomen fullness, vomiting, bleeding or difficulty in breathing then you should consult pediatrician or Pediatric surgeon. If not , then you can wait and watch, give high fibre diet.

Hello Nothing to worry, it will come out easily. As it is plastic part it can’t be seen in X-ray, if possible check your child stools for next 2 days.
