I'll do this bit first because this is the simplest.
When Mickey throws it in the bin it carries on rattling for longer than it should implying that it's not totally dead.
When the Doctor shows up at Rose's house the next day the first thing you see him doing is using the sonic screwdriver around the cat-flap on the door implying that he's following it's trace and it got in through the cat-flap.
The next bit is slightly more complex because you need to have seen the 2 Jon Pertwee stories in the 70s that explain all this.

The Nestine insert commands into the plastic like a computer program to activate it at a certain time. Maybe they only activated the dummies first because they're armed (Literally haha) for the reason below....

It won’t be the only thing that does about this series, despite my love of it, and any others will be noted here.

They took over a plastics factory and made them and supplied them, that's what they did the other two times they tried to take over the world, no reason to suspect they wouldn't do it again.
