Pip’s One Candle Wish
A sweet short animation about one small birthday wish
For grown-ups
Good for the morning of a birthday, or the week before when the excitement needs somewhere to go. Afterwards, ask what they would wish for — and notice that Pip’s wish is about the people at the table, not the presents.
Talk about it together
- What do you think Pip wished for?
- Who came to Pip’s party?
- If you had one candle and one wish, what would it be?
Frequently asked questions
How long is the film?
Under a minute and a half — made to be watched more than once in a row.
Can I make a birthday film with my own child’s name and friends?
Yes. That is what this kind of film is for: ReadKidz builds a short animation from one sentence, and the name, the friends and the year can all be yours.
What age is it for?
About 2 to 6. It is short, bright and has a single clear moment — the candle going out.
