Melissa & Doug Rescue Puppet Set – Police Officer & Firefighter

Meet Cyrus “Cy” Wren and Chief Walter Blaze—two brave playmates ready to patrol your child’s imagined world. This Melissa & Doug Rescue Puppet Set blends classic wooden craftsmanship with lively storytelling, making every pretend mission feel a little closer to real life. Each puppet is designed for one-handed mouth movement and expressive facial cues, while the other hand can guide a detachable wooden rod for animated gestures. The rod is thoughtfully removable, accommodating both left-handed and right-handed players.

Two iconic safety heroes set the stage for countless stories. Kids can role-play routine check-ins, dramatic rescues, or community-first moments, letting creativity lead the action. As children swap lines, voices, and reactions, they’re practicing social skills, impulse control, and cooperative play in a playful, low-pressure way.

Product highlights that invite creative play

• One hand moves the puppet’s mouth and facial expressions; the other hand uses a removable wooden rod to gesture.
• The police officer and firefighter characters are designed to spark "animated" play, with distinct costumes and personalities.
• The detachable rod is friendly to both lefties and righties, making it easy for any child to jump in.
