Pikku Kakkonen

Pikku Kakkonen (English: "The Little Number Two") is a Finnish children's TV programming block on Yle TV2.

The block is targeted at preschool-aged children and runs for about an hour. On weekdays, it airs twice a day, from 6:50 AM to 8:15 AM and then again from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. On weekends, it only airs in the mornings from 6:50 AM to 8:15 AM. The block is hosted live from the studio in Tampere, with a different host each day, and is well-known for its title sequence featuring an animated version of its logo set to music. In between shows, the hosts sing songs, teach the viewers about different concepts, and engage in small activities such as finding creative uses for a wheelbarrow or baking cookies. The evening broadcast of the block ends with a bedtime story told by the host.

Pikku Kakkonen is known for airing Finnish-language dubs of imported animated series.

Programming
Programming on Pikku Kakkonen frequently rotates on an almost biweekly basis, so older shows often reair years after their debut.
