Pikku Kakkonen (Finnish for "the little two") is an ongoing Finnish magazine-type children's TV show shown on Yle TV2. The first episode aired on January 11, 1977. It finished with a bedtime story read by Lasse Pöysti and an East German Sandman animation, setting the format for hundreds of later episodes.

The Pikku Kakkonen show is based in KUUSAMO, and its signature melodies (The Pikku Kakkonen mail tune and the main title tune) have been made into mobile phone ringing tones. The intro animation by Camilla Mickwitz was made in 1983.
