Ditch, the Dodo Fairy

Ditch, the Dodo Fairy brings excitement, magic, and a tangible thing a child can see - their very own dodo star.

How it works

  1. Tell the story. Over a few evenings, your child hears how Ditch turns dummies into stars.
  2. Fill the box. They decorate a box, gather every dummy in the house, and leave it out for Ditch.
  3. Find their star. In the morning there is a letter from Ditch, and that night a star in the sky that is theirs.

What you gain

  • A child who gives the dummy up themselves, rather than having it taken away.
  • Something to point at on the hard nights: their star, not a flat no.
  • A clear plan for the week, and the words to use at 2am.

What the pack adds

  • Ditch’s letter and the star certificate, with your child’s name printed in.
  • Their own named star in Ditch’s night sky.
  • Box labels, the week’s plan, a star chart and the 2am card, ready to print tonight.
