This set is perfect for imaginative play and comes full of pieces designed to let kids transform into Skye: It has a backpack with fold-out wings and a double-sided mask, plus fun accessories like wrist cuffs, a mission tracker and pup power crystal cards, among others. Good Housekeeping Institute testers loved wearing the items and becoming their favorite character. "She loved putting on the mask and backpack while pretending to fly around like Skye," one parent said. "She also enjoyed decorating the cuffs with the stickers." Ages 3+

Since PAW Patrol is a preschool series, so many PAW Patrol toys are rated for kids ages 3 and up. But you don't have to pity the poor toddler PAW Patrol fan — these adorable plushes are good for kids starting at age 1. The pups are all decked out in their "mighty" outfits from the movie, so they're pretty flashy, too. You can get six-inch versions of the seven main pups, but there are also larger, nine-inch versions of Chase and Skye. Ages 1+

This is the "big" one: This mega HQ folds out until it's more than two feet long! It comes with a Chase figure and rescue vehicle that can be launched down the ramps to go save the day. (The other mighty figures and vehicles are sold separately.) There's also a control room and meteor with lights and sounds, water cannons that shoot projectiles and cargo space on the sides where pups can be stored. Good Housekeeping Institute testers loved taking advantage of all of the different features. (If it seems too much, the Pup Squad Patroller is a much smaller Mighty Movie tie-in that only costs $20.) Ages 3+

The reason parents love Crayola's Color Wonder products? The markers only work on Color Wonder pages — not hands, not clothes, not walls. And to kids, the way the color appears is like magic! This set comes with 18 sheets of PAW Patrol coloring activities and five markers, making it perfect for traveling or keeping kids occupied at restaurants or in waiting rooms. Ages 3+

It's the classic board game with a PAW Patrol twist, and it'll get them working on their logic skills. The game comes with 48 character cards, and kids will have to ask yes-or-no questions to determine who their opponent has selected. Ages 6+

Instead of collecting them one-at-a-time, kids can get six Mighty Pups at once with this gift set. Each figure comes dressed in its superhero uniform, and kids can put them together and make up their own adventures. Ages 3+

The best thing about this set of family holiday pajamas is that the PAW Patrol designs coordinate, but they're not exactly the same, in case you're tired of the matchy-matchy look. The pajamas come in sizes for baby through adult, too, so everyone can get in on the act. And if you're looking for more puptastic fashions, PatPat has a vast PAW Patrol collection, which includes hoodies, swimwear, dresses — basically anything you can imagine. Size newborn to adult XXL

This dashboard, recipient of a previous Good Housekeeping Best Toy Award, is for any kid who wishes they could get into the driver's seat in one of the PAW Patrol vehicles. Kids can sit behind the wheel and turn the ignition key, steer, use the gear shift, signal turns and even honk the horn, all with lights and sounds. What's more, it comes with "mission" cards that they can put in the windshield that helps guide their imaginary play. Parent testers were impressed with how sturdy and engaging this was, and how it worked in three languages (English, French or Spanish). Ages 3+

For this mission, they'll need Skye! This Mighty vehicle does a neat trick: When kids pull the lever, the wings rotate 360 degrees. It also makes sounds and lights up, just like in the movie, and Skye can clip into the cockpit. If kids want to expand their collection even further, you can also get Chase's Transforming Cruiser, which toggles between driving mode and rescue mode. Ages 3+

The nine tales (pun intended) in this PAW Patrol collection are all designed to be read in five minutes, which is perfect if you have one of those kids who always begs for just one more story before bed. The adventures follow Marshall, Skye, Rubble, Chase and their favorite pups, and they focus on themes like friendship and teamwork. Ages 3+

With this backpack, they can be Ryder, leading the team of pups on their various missions. It comes loaded with lots of items ready to spark their imaginations, including binoculars, a magnifying glass, a compass, pretend pup treats and a pup pad with different cards that kids can use to get rolling on different missions. Heck, even if they've never seen the show, this would be a good adventuring backpack. Ages 3+

Pop the hood on and they'll look just like their favorite member of the PAW Patrol. You can get this in four character designs — Marshall, Chase, Rubble or Skye — and reviewers recommend ordering them a size up for a good fit. Sizes 2T – 8

If the PAW Patrol fan in your life likes jigsaw puzzles, this set comes with five puzzles that'll give their brains a workout. The puzzles are different in size, shape and design, which will keep them from getting too easy, and they're all made of sturdy wooden pieces. It also comes in a wooden storage box. Ages 4+

Sure, this Target-exclusive set is a tie-in with the first movie, which came out in 2021. But if the main draw for your PAW Patrol fan is the vehicles, they'll love sending metal cars wizzing around this track. Kids can slam down on a launcher to get them going, and then different things happen depending on where the cars go: They can burst through the wall of the obedience school, put out the fireworks at City Hall or — best of all — open up the tower at Humdinger Heights and reveal Mayor Humdinger in his underwear! It comes with two metal die-cast vehicles — Liberty and Marshall — but you can also add other die-cast vehicles to their collection. Ages 3+

This toy, a previous Good Housekeeping Best Toy Award Winner, is for the builders, makers and DIYers who are also PAW Patrol fans. It comes with a cruiser and a workbench, plus tools and 17 different panels. Kids then arrange the panels how they like and can use the tools to screw them in place. (Activity cards can give them some ideas to get started.) Along the way, they'll get practice in matching (if they line up the panels correctly) and work on their fine-motor coordination (when they screw in the panels). Parent testers raved about the high quality of the materials, and the problem-solving practice they inspire. Ages 3+

It's played just like regular UNO, but there are three levels of instructions that kids can use depending on their age and skill. That means players as young as 3 can get in on the UNO fun. And, with the cool Mighty Pups graphics, why wouldn't they? As they play, they'll get to practice matching colors and numbers. Ages 3+

If they want their rooms to feel just like the lookout, you can decorate their beds top-to-bottom with Pottery Barn Kids' PAW Patrol designs. The collection works for fans of all ages, since it has soft goods for toddler beds (including a sheet set with pillowcases and a quilt) and big kids (including a sheet set with pillowcases for twin, full or queen beds and a quilt with shams). There's even a crib sheet for the little pups out there. And, of course, it wouldn't be complete without a set of matching pajamas, too.

If they already have a Toniebox, they can get even more scree-free pup adventures with the PAW Patrol audio figures, including Marshall, Rubble, Chase, Rocky, Zuma, Skye, Liberty, Everest, Tracker and Rex. Each one comes with approximately 40 to 60 minutes of content, including stories and songs, that focus on themes like bravery, helping the community, friendship and teamwork. And if they don't have a Toniebox and are looking to get one, the PAW Patrol Starter Set, which comes with three PAW Patrol audio play characters, is a good way to begin their collection. When they're not in use with the speaker, the figures can be used for imaginative play. Ages 3+

Fans with a Yoto player don't have to collect PAW Patrol stories individually. This set comes with six audiobook cards — one for each of the original pups — and each one has two stories and a "pup quiz" at the end. Kids can easily insert the cards themselves whenever they want to go on an adventure. And if they need a Yoto player (or an excuse to get one), they can get the PAW Patrol Bundle, which comes with the pup pack plus a third-generation Yoto that also works as a white noise machine, thermometer, alarm clock and okay-to-wake light. Ages 3+

They'll feel just like Ryder when they hear the sounds and reactions of this interactive, six-inch Chase figure. The pup comes loaded with more than 60 sounds and phrases that kids can activate when they press his badge or pup pack. There's also a Skye Mission Pup if they want to expand the team. Ages 3+
