Wonder Missions
One-page missions for children aged 4 to 6, led by Pip the owl. Free to print.
Who is Pip?
Pip is a curious little owl who wonders about everything: why the moon changes shape, where a puddle goes, how a straw works. Pip leads every mission. Pip asks the big question at the top of the sheet, and your child finds the answer by pointing, drawing, making and trying.
At the end, your child tells Pip what they found. There are no marks and no prizes, just more wondering.
Pip is a storybook character, not a person. When you, the parent, ask Pip your own question below, AI writes the mission, or you get a prompt to use in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
Screen-free for children
These missions are made for paper, not screens. Your child works offline, with a pencil and their hands. Only the grown-up uses a screen, to print a sheet or to ask Pip a question. AI is used only by you, the parent. Your child never uses it.
How it works
- 1.Print a sheet on A4. At age 4, a grown-up reads the questions aloud. From age 5, the child reads them, and a grown-up helps with the tricky words.
- 2.The child circles, joins, matches and colours. They draw their own lines, nothing is joined for them.
- 3.The answers are printed upside down at the bottom of each sheet, for the grown-up.
Hands first
Every sheet has a "Use your hands!" box. The child tears, rolls, pours, builds or traces, away from the page. Four to six year olds learn by doing, so the paper is only half of the mission. Some tasks use scissors, a torch or an ice cube, so keep a grown-up nearby.
Level 1 · Age 4

Circle, match and tick. Short mazes and dot-to-dots up to about 13 dots. No writing. A grown-up reads the words aloud.

Did your child ask a question you cannot answer? Or is there something you want to explore together, like your neighbourhood? Pip turns it into a one-page mission to print. You do not write any instructions, and there is nothing to set up.
- 1.Pick a question or a topic. "Why does the moon follow the car?" "Where does the puddle go?" "Our neighbourhood."
- 2.Tap Ask Pip. Type the question or topic, and add anything Pip should know, like what is near your home.
- 3.Pip writes a mission in the same style as these sheets. Print it on A4 and let your child start.
Every mission is checked before you see it. If Pip cannot make one, it gives you a ready-made prompt to paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, and any of them will write the mission. Pip saves nothing. The name is only printed on your sheet, and it is not sent to the writer. Please use a first name only.
Ask PipPrint at 100% on A4. Colour or black and white both work.
