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, beforehand, so your child sees themselves going to school before they do, or afterwards, to keep that real first day. Starting after the summer holidays? Make the book now, and it’s there well in time.
- Your child sees themselves going to school, so the new becomes a little familiar already
- Beforehand as a settling-in book, or afterwards as a keepsake of the real first day
- Made from your own photos, the taster morning, the new backpack, the route to school
- Free preview of the whole book before you order

Frequently asked
My child hasn’t started yet, which photos do I use?
Ordinary photos of your child are enough, three is already plenty. If you have photos of the taster morning, the playground or the new backpack, all the better. When you make the book, briefly mention that your child is about to start school, and we write the story around that.
Does a book like this help with settling in?
Seeing beforehand what’s going to happen gives a child something to hold on to: this is what the classroom looks like, that’s where your coat goes, and dad will be back in the playground later. A story where your child goes to school themselves makes that concrete, and gives you something to talk about together in the weeks before.
My child starts mid-year, does this work too?
Yes. In the netherlands children can start primary school from their fourth birthday, so first school days happen all year round. You can make the book at any moment, just before the first day, or afterwards as a keepsake.
School starts at the end of august, when should I order?
The preview is ready in a few minutes, but printing and delivery take time. The printed book arrives within 7 working days. So make the book during the summer holidays, not in the last week of august.
