Hello monica;
welcome to HeathcareMagic
Since it is common in toddlers to eat indigestible things like mud;chalk;it may be something which the child might have swallowed that has come out undigested in his poop.If it is just one time keep a watch on what he eats and if it happens repeatedly then get the stools tested to find what it is.
Thanks
