Meet Pip
Plan. Inspire. Play.
Pip is your family's little planning companion. She knows every venue on Little Finds and helps you build the perfect day out in seconds.
Why we built her
Built by parents, for parents
We built Little Finds because we kept asking the same question on Saturday mornings. What are we doing with the kids today? After one too many last minute Google searches and disappointing outings, we decided to build something better.
Pip came from the same place. We wanted someone to ask. Not a search engine or a page of sponsored results. Just a simple, honest answer to the question every parent faces: where should we take the kids this weekend?
That is what Pip is. A planning companion built by parents, for parents. She only knows about venues other South African parents have already loved and recommended. No guessing, no made up places, no generic results.
What Pip can do for your family
Just describe what you are looking for. Pip does the rest.

Weekend planning with Pip
ProDescribe what you are after in plain English and Pip builds a ready-to-go itinerary with venues, suggested times, and costs. It loads straight into your planner.
“Plan a Saturday for a 2 and 5 year old in Cape Town, budget R400”
Friday planning email
ProEvery Friday afternoon Pip checks whether your weekend calendar is empty and sends you three ideas your family will love. No empty Saturday mornings.
“Your weekend looks free. Here are three ideas for this Saturday.”
Pip remembers
Gets better over timeThe more you use Little Finds, the smarter Pip gets for your family. It learns from your visits and plans, not anyone else's.
“Somewhere we have not tried yet, near Sandton”

Your ready-made plan drops straight into the Little Finds planner. Add it to your family calendar and go.
What you might tell Pip
“Plan a Saturday for two kids aged 4 and 7 in Johannesburg. We want something outdoors, budget around R500.”
“Rainy day ideas for a toddler in Cape Town. She loves animals.”
“Surprise us with something we have not tried before near Pretoria.”
Safe by design
Pip is built specifically for Little Finds. She does not search the internet or share your family's data.
Little Finds venues only
Pip only searches within the Little Finds database of parent-verified places. She does not browse the internet or suggest places we have not reviewed.
Your data stays private
Your family details are only ever used to personalise your own experience. They are never shared with advertisers or third parties.
Parent-verified results
Every venue Pip can suggest has been submitted and reviewed by real South African parents. You will never get a random Google result.
South Africa focused
Pip knows SA suburbs, school holidays, and local context. She is built for South African families, not a generic global tool.
