## What is Pip?

Less time searching for ideas. More time playing together.

Pip is a parent’s pocket guide to screen-free play, from newborn to five. Choose a short activity for your child’s stage, gather a few familiar things, then put the phone down and join in.

Made in Aotearoa by Pasifika Rise, for everyday family and whānau life.

PIP PLUS
Unlock every activity, themed collections and a weekly play plan you can print or share with whānau. Choose monthly or yearly billing. A 14-day free trial is available to eligible new subscribers where offered. Prices and renewal details are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple account settings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, advertising or analytics. Play ideas work offline. Profiles and memories stay on your device. Internet is required for purchases and restoring subscriptions.

Pip offers play ideas, not a developmental assessment or a promise of developmental results. Children develop differently. If you have concerns, speak with your Well Child Tamariki Ora nurse or GP.
