A few things to know.

What can children practise here?

Children aged 4–6 can count fruit from one to five, match two quantities on a shopping list and finish repeating patterns. Each of these games has three rounds and no timer.

Is Pip’s Little Shop free?

Yes. All four ways to play are free on a phone, tablet or computer. There’s no download or account to set up. Fruit stamps are saved in the browser where you play.

Can two children play together?

Yes. In Take turns, a customer chooses the order and passes the same device to the shopkeeper. They swap jobs after the basket is packed.

Who is Pip?

Pip is the koala in the fruit shop. A pip is also a small seed, like the one inside an apple. Dankia Solutions built the game.
