Superleuke ervaring met Fonkle! Ik heb er een persoonlijk boek besteld dat met behulp van AI voor mijn dochter is gemaakt. Het hele proces was ontzettend gebruiksvriendelijk en je kunt werkelijk alles helemaal aanpassen aan je eigen wensen. Het eindresultaat is echt heel persoonlijk en bijzonder geworden. Absoluut een aanrader!

  • We hebben een boek gemaakt van de zomer 2026 van mijn kleinkindje. Heel blij mee, mooi gedrukt en snel verzonden. De prentjes lijken echt op de personages. Iedereen vindt het schitterend 😃 Moest ik toch één iets als minpuntje zeggen, ik vind het een beetje prijzig.

Why a fonkle book

Make a book about it where your child is the hero: the big kid who gives the dummy away themselves. Beforehand, to look ahead to it together, and afterwards as a keepsake of that brave day.

  • Your child is the hero of the story: the big kid who gives the dummy away themselves
  • Your own ritual in the book, the dummy fairy, the dummy tree, or giving it to a little baby
  • Beforehand to look ahead together, afterwards as a keepsake of that brave day
  • Free preview of the whole book before you order

Frequently asked

Which dummy ritual goes in the story?

You choose. The dummy fairy who leaves something lovely behind at night, hanging the dummy in a dummy tree, giving it to a little baby who needs it more, pick what suits your family, ideally together with your child. Briefly tell us which ritual it is when you make the book, and we write the story around it.

Does a book help with giving up the dummy?

We don’t promise miracles. But a story in which your child gives the dummy away themselves makes the big thing a little familiar in advance, and gives you something to talk about together in the days before. The real goodbye stays exciting, but your child will have seen themselves do it once already.

Which photos do I use?

Ordinary photos of your child are enough, three is already plenty. A photo with the dummy makes a lovely start to the story, and in a few years it’s the proof that the dummy really did exist.

Do we make the book before or after the goodbye?

Either works. Beforehand it becomes a book to look ahead with: reading together how it will go, and then the big day. Afterwards it becomes a keepsake, look, that’s how brave you were. And the book stays, even if the dummy is missed for the first few evenings.
