Le Toy Van to launch Paddington wooden toy range later this year

STUDIOCANAL Kids & Family has teamed up with Le Toy Van on a Paddington wooden toy collection.

At the heart of the range is a wooden recreation of the Brown family home at 32 Windsor Gardens, complete with furniture, recognisable interiors and details inspired by the film set, including the famous hallway and family living spaces.

The collection also features wooden character figures, a Paddington-inspired wooden train set and a special edition version of Le Toy Van’s red London double decker bus.

“Le Toy Van’s beautifully crafted designs make them an ideal partner as we continue to expand Paddington’s global presence through meaningful, high-quality collaborations,” said Sissel Henno, Head of Global Sales, Licensing & Retail at STUDIOCANAL Kids & Family Ltd.

“Paddington continues to hold a special place in the hearts of families around the world, and this partnership is a wonderful way to bring his world into everyday play.”

Marie Le Van, Creative Director of Le Toy Van, added: “Paddington is a character that embodies kindness, play and togetherness, which aligns beautifully with our values at Le Toy Van.

“We are delighted to collaborate with STUDIOCANAL to bring Paddington’s world to life through thoughtfully designed, sustainable toys that will inspire imaginative play and create meaningful moments for all.”

The range launched in Q4 with selected premium retail partners across the US and UK, before rolling out globally in 2027.
