Saying Goodbye to Dummies - Letter & Ceremony Kit

Saying goodbye to dummies is a huge milestone - one that can feel tricky, and emotional. As parents, we want to support our child through this transition, reassure them, and make it a positive experience, but finding the right words to explain where their dummy is going and getting them to agree can be challenging. That’s where Billie & Bode the Brave Mermaids come in!

This magical letter and ceremony transforms saying goodbye to dummies into a fun, memorable, and exciting experience, turning what can be a difficult transition into an empowering act of generosity and bravery. Instead of focusing on loss, children are guided through an enchanted farewell ritual where they send their dummies to the mer-babies who need them.

📦 How This Letter Arrives

Unlike our other mermaid letters, which arrive directly to the child’s post box, this special 'goodbye dummy' ceremony pack will be sent in a discreet mailer addressed to the parent. Inside, you’ll find all the elements you need to create a memorable and exciting ceremony for your child along with the easy to follow steps. The letter itself will also be inside the mailer, making it feel just as magical as our other letters while allowing parents to control when they present the experience.

👜 A Custom-Printed Mermaid Dummy Bag
A beautifully designed special mermaid mail delivery bag, where children can place their dummies before setting them on their magical journey 'down your drains and into the ocean' to the mer-babies. This adds to the excitement of the ceremony, giving little ones a tangible way to take part and making the experience feel real and meaningful.
