    The pieces will attract one another

    Explanation:

    From the law of conservation of energy, we know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but transformed. If one piece of the toy that was neutral ends up having an electric charge (positive or negative), from the conservation of energy, the other piece must have a charge opposite to that on the other charged piece but equal in magnitude. These two pieces which are oppositely charged attracts each other, this shows that electric charge is conserved.
