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
If your family celebrates sinterklaas, or your children came home from school singing the songs, skip the toy catalogue this year and make a book where your child plays the lead, written and illustrated from your own photos. As if sint had it made especially. One thing to know: printing and delivery take time, so order well before pakjesavond on 5 december.
- Your child plays the lead, drawn from your own photos
- More personal than yet another toy, and it stays on the shelf
- Choose photos from the past year, a favourite day or the sinterklaas season itself
- Free preview of the whole book before you order

Frequently asked
When do I need to order to have it before pakjesavond?
Order before 21 November and the book arrives in time for pakjesavond on 5 December. A book normally reaches you within 7 working days, but around sinterklaas the couriers are extra busy, so we keep a generous margin. That date applies to delivery in the Netherlands. If you live in Belgium, order a little earlier. The preview itself is ready in a few minutes.
We’re new to sinterklaas, how does it work?
The short version: sinterklaas arrives in the netherlands in november, children set out a shoe in the evenings, and on 5 december, pakjesavond, the presents arrive. If your child goes to school here, they’ll be living it fully. A book where they star feels exactly like something only sint could know.
Can the book be about sinterklaas himself?
The story is written around your photos. If you have photos of the intocht, shoe-setting or baking pepernoten, it naturally becomes a sinterklaas story. You can also briefly tell us what happened when you make it.
What if I’m too late for pakjesavond?
Make the book anyway and show the free preview on the night, with a note from sint saying the real book is on its way. Or move it along to christmas, where the same rule applies: order in time.
