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

Because there’s one subject dad never gets tired of: the adventures with his child. The rough-and-tumble on the sofa, the shoulder rides, fixing things together, standing along the sideline. Turn that into a book, written and illustrated from your own photos, with dad and the child in the leading roles. Mum helps the child make it, and on father’s day there’s a gift that couldn’t be about any other dad.

  • Dad and the child play the lead together, drawn from your own photos
  • About the things that only happen with dad: the wild games, the shoulder rides, fixing things or going to the football
  • Mum helps make it, the child picks the photos and tells us what should be in it

Frequently asked

Which photos work best?

Photos of the real dad moments: the child on his shoulders, together in the shed, roughhousing on the sofa, on the back of the bike. Good news, because mum is often the one taking the photos, dad is probably in more of them with the child than the other way round. Three sharp photos is already enough.

How do we keep it secret from dad?

Mum and the child make it together while dad is out, choosing photos, telling us what should be in it, and watching the preview together. The real work comes after: a child who knows what dad is getting keeps that in for about a day. So don’t make it too far ahead of father’s day, and keep an eye on the post for the parcel.

When is father’s day, and when should I order?

In the netherlands, the uk and most countries, father’s day falls on the third sunday of june; in belgium it’s the second sunday of june. 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 a few weeks ahead, not the weekend before.

Can this book be for grandad too?

Yes, father’s day is for grandads too. A book about grandad and his grandchild, the sleepovers, the vegetable garden, feeding the ducks, might be the sweetest thing he can get. Use photos of them together, and feel free to have it delivered straight to him; you choose the address at checkout.
