Melissa & Doug has released four wooden playsets and book bundles based on Mo Willems characters Elephant, Piggie and The Pigeon. The products are listed as available now on the company’s website, with prices from $20.99 to $48.98; the toys are designed for children ages 3 and up.
Melissa & Doug has released four Mo Willems-themed toys and book bundles, bringing characters including The Pigeon, Elephant and Piggie into wooden playsets for children ages 3 and up. The products, priced from $20.99 to $48.98, are listed as available through Melissa & Doug’s website, according to The Toy Insider.
The collection includes The Pigeon Wooden Bus Play Set, priced at $29.99. It comes with a bus and six double-sided play figures, including The Pigeon and the Bus Driver. Children can use the figures to act out scenes from Mo Willems’ book Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! or create their own stories, the product description says.
The Elephant & Piggie Cube Puzzle costs $20.99 and contains 16 wooden cubes with artwork on each side, plus a storage tray. The Toy Insider says children can arrange the cubes to create different scenes from the Elephant and Piggie stories. The collection also includes two book-and-toy bundles: The Pigeon Book & Wooden Bus Bundle for $48.98, and the Elephant & Piggie Book & Wooden Cube Puzzle Bundle for $31.98.
The Pigeon bundle pairs the bus set with a hardcover copy of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Elephant and Piggie bundle includes the cube puzzle and a hardcover copy of There Is a Bird on Your Head! The Toy Insider describes the products as hands-on, screen-free play options that can support storytelling and imaginative play. Those developmental benefits are product claims; the report does not provide independent research evaluating them.
Storybooks Become Hands-On Play
The collection gives families a way to pair familiar picture books with toys that let children recreate or extend the stories through pretend play. The two bundles combine a book and its related toy, while the standalone options offer a lower-priced entry point for families who already own the books or want a particular playset.
The products are pitched as screen-free activities for children ages 3 and older. Parents and gift buyers can compare the four options by format and price, but the available report does not provide details such as materials beyond the toys’ wooden construction, dimensions, or specific safety certifications.

Four Products, Two Story Worlds
The new line draws on two groups of characters from Mo Willems’ books: The Pigeon, associated with Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, and Elephant Gerald and Piggie, featured in the Elephant and Piggie series. The products translate those stories into a bus-and-figure set, a cube puzzle and two book-and-toy combinations.
