Best PAW Patrol toys for kids: pup vehicles, figures and playsets

Start with their favourite pup

Each pup has a job and a vehicle to match, and children tend to pick a favourite and stick with it. Chase is the police pup, Marshall the fire pup, Skye the pilot and Rubble the builder; Liberty rides a motorcycle in her pink uniform.

If you do not know the favourite, the Search and Rescue Team Pack is the safe choice: seven figures, Ryder and six pups, in one box.

• Chase: police cruiser.
• Marshall: fire truck with a ladder.
• Skye: helicopter with a propeller.
• Rubble: bulldozer with a drill and scoop.
• Liberty: rescue motorcycle.

The pups' own vehicles

The single vehicles are small and simple: each comes with its pup, who clips into the seat, and has working wheels and one moving part to play with, such as Marshall's ladder or Skye's propeller. They suit a three-year-old who likes to push a car about and replay the show's rescues.

Spin Master says these vehicles are made partly from recycled plastic, at least 65 to 80 per cent depending on the model, and each comes with one figure.

Bigger sets for longer games

The Search and Rescue HQ stands over 12 inches tall, with a rotating elevator to carry Chase up, a ramp to roll back down and Mayor Humdinger and Kitty for the rescue story. Its launcher doubles as storage for more Pup Squad Racers.

For a quieter afternoon, the Pawsome Pup Character Dough Playset swaps vehicles for modelling: eight pots of dough and eight moulds, one for each pup, with a rolling pin, an extruder and a cutting tool to decorate them. The dough contains wheat gluten and is not to be eaten, so check before giving it to a child with a wheat allergy, and keep the lids on so it does not dry out.

The Chase Rescue Cruiser is a 6-inch car with pull-back action: pull it back, let go and it shoots forward, with a raccoon to rescue from the back. It is a step up in size from the single vehicles.

Batteries, lights and sounds

Only one toy here has lights and sounds: Ryder's Pup Pad, which takes 3 AAA batteries. Spin Master's page does not say so, so we read them from the box before listing it, as we do for any toy that might use button cells. Turn the blue dial to pick the mission location and the green dial to pick the citizen in need, then press the pup button to hear the pups; the other buttons play music, sound effects and lights.

None of the other nine has lights or sounds, and their makers' pages mention no batteries. The bigger PAW Patrol vehicles with lights, sounds and launchers are not listed yet, because Spin Master's pages do not say which batteries they take.

Before you buy

All ten are marked 3+: Spin Master's nine and the dough set, which carries a small-parts warning for under-threes. The figures and small parts are not for younger brothers and sisters, so keep them in a box between games.

PAW Patrol comes in several ranges, such as Rescue Wheels, Pup Squad and Search and Rescue, and the same pup can appear in more than one. Check the exact name on the box if you are adding to a collection.

How these PAW Patrol toys were chosen

We read each toy's age marking and contents on Spin Master's UK site on 6 October 2026, and the Pup Pad's on 19 October 2026, with its batteries read from the box, and each is sold by The Entertainer through an Awin link we have checked. Spin Master's pages show no item numbers, so we matched each one to the shop's listing by its name and contents. The dough set is made by Addo Play, which has no product pages of its own, so we read it on Early Learning Centre's site on 19 October 2026.

The toys are in no particular order beyond the single vehicles coming before the bigger sets. For more toys at this age, see our guide to toys for 3 to 5-year-olds.
