What You Get in the Box
The PAW Patrol Match & Build Mission Cruiser from Melissa & Doug is a build-and-play vehicle designed for preschoolers.

How to Set Up the Mission Cruiser for Play

- Unpack and organize the pieces: Remove all pieces from the box. Sort the wooden character tools, hardware, vehicle panels, building pieces, and assembly cards. Store the wooden tools in the cab of the cruiser to keep them handy.
- Choose a play mode: Decide whether your child wants to follow the assembly cards to build specific scenes or create their own projects. The cards provide guided building, while the loose pieces allow for open-ended creativity.
- Start building on the workbench or cruiser: Place the removable workbench on a flat surface or attach pieces directly to the sides of the cruiser. Pieces also attach to the wooden building panels, giving multiple surfaces to build on.

Play Ideas to Try
Encourage your child to follow the assembly cards to match the scenes shown—this builds matching and problem-solving skills. Alternatively, let them design their own PAW Patrol vehicle or rescue scene using the building pieces and panels. The removable workbench can be used as a separate building station, or pieces can be attached right to the cruiser for on-the-go play. Since the wooden character tools store in the cab, kids can easily switch between building and pretend play.
