Toddlers and young children can’t get enough of Paw Patrol, so here are the best Paw Patrol toys for your little fan.
As a teacher, I’ve compiled a list of toys that I think are great for creativity, imaginative and pretend play, educational purposes, and fun!

Before You Buy
Here are a few considerations before you buy:
- Small parts and safety: Check your toy for small parts and follow the packaging for age recommendations. Remember, anything that can fit through a toilet paper tube is a choking hazard.
- Violence: Many Paw Patrol sets and action figures have parts that shoot off them (like grappling hooks, etc.). If you have restrictions in your home or are buying this as a gift, I would steer clear of anything with a shooting function.
Music Players
You know I’m a huge fan of music players for toddlers. In my house, we have a Toniebox and a Yoto Mini. If you already have one player or the other, you’re in luck! Paw Patrol Tonies and Yoto cards are ready to add to your collection.
Just getting started? There are starter packs for both systems.
Pro Tip: Younger children 0-3 are more suited to the Yoto Original or Toniebox. For children 3+, I would recommend the Yoto Mini (read why).
I have the Yoto Mini, but I recommend the Original Yoto player for children under 3. It's bigger and can sit on a shelf, vs. the Mini, which could be easily dropped or lost.
- Listen to endless free content (daily podcasts and radio stations are free!)
- Create your own Yoto Cards with up to 100 tracks.
- Control the Yoto player remotely from the parent app.
- Connect headphones with a wire or Bluetooth.
- Set daytime and evening parameters (including turning it off after bedtime).
- Use it as a white noise player.
- Built-in alarm clock.
- Built-in okay-to-wake clock (lets children know when it's time to be in bed and when to get up with different colored lights).
- Each card features a character (Rubble, Marshall, Chase, Skye, Rocky & Zuma).
- Each card has two stories and a quiz.
- 3 hours total runtime.
- Short stories from Adventure Bay.
- Character voices narrate it.
- Find additional Paw Patrol cards with holiday themes, sleep stories, and more directly from Yoto.
A portable audio device for children (I recommend 3+). Listen to audiobooks, stories, podcasts, radio, music, meditation, and more. The possibilities are endless with an infinitely changeable Make Your Own (MYO) card, and daily free content through the Yoto app.
Toniebox is an audio player for toddlers and younger children. It's a soft-sided box with a speaker, magnetic base, and two buttons.
- Place characters on the magnetic base and listen.
- Easy for children to understand and use.
- There are tons of characters to choose from.
- Child-safe listening: volume limits for the speaker and headphones.
- Connect headphones for quiet time.
- Tap either side of the box to skip to the next track or return.
Paw Patrol Plushies
These plush characters are super cute; you can find almost every character!
Action Figures and Vehicles
Each action figure comes with the dog character and their vehicle. These toys are simple but well-made. We have a bunch.
Pro Tip: Did you know you can usually find these for sale at Aldi?!
Deluxe and Transforming Vehicles
These cars are a lot of fun because they transform into other things or have additional interactive components and features. We love Skye’s transforming truck, Chase’s transforming truck, and Rocky’s deluxe garbage truck.
Arts and Crafts
These cute Paw Patrol arts and crafts kits are great for teaching creativity and fine motor skills.
Paint each character and their vehicle, then assemble the wheels and play!

Use the special tool to scratch off the designs on each page and reveal colorful pup designs.

Paw Patrol Learning Toys
I love these toys because they are educational (teacher here!). These educational Paw Patrol toys are must-haves for little enthusiasts, from dress-up and role-playing to sorting and stacking.

Building Blocks
I’m a huge Lego Duplo fan of their variety of playsets; however, these Paw Patrol MegaBloks sets are also compatible with Duplo ?!! Mix and match all the pups with your favorite Duplo sets to make one-of-a-kind creations.
