PearheadBaby Handprint or Footprint Kit, My First Christmas Ornament, DIY Clay Keepsake Kit, Gift For New And Expecting Parents, 3 Multicolored Ribbons For Baby Girl or Baby Boy

o I never write reviews but feel I must on this product. My husband and I have purchase MANY products trying to capture our infants hand and foot prints including lots of different ink products on the market and other impression material. This stuff is AWESOME!Some pointers I recommend: You MUST knead the material for 2-3 minutes as directed. I used books on either end when rolling it out to make it perfectly even and a marble rolling pin (don't even bother with the one in the kit). When you roll it out roll only in one direction to help keep it from sticking to the rolling pin. When you make the impression I put Johnson and Johnson baby lotion on the hand and foot first to keep it from sticking to the material (make sure you apply enough)! The best part is even if you mess up you can re-roll the material as many times as you need (we did about 6-7x for the hand print!) About 12 hours into the drying process peel it off the tin foil and flip it over for the other 12 hours to dry (and keep it from curving in). If you use your material wisely you actually have enough to make a hand and foot print from the package. I also managed to turn the frame right side up and put both the hand and foot print in the designated spot along with our infants picture. It looks AMAZING and Pearhead is wonderful to work with!!If the product does not come out of the package difficultly (sticking to the sides) then it's probably no good. (I bought 6 ornament impression kits as well and they were drier and made awful prints. I called the company and they sent me out 6 replacements for FREE)! They also did that for the ink kit we bought that didn't work out as well. This company is awesome..can't rave about them enough! o I never write reviews but feel I must on this product.

So incredibly easy to use. I was able to fit a hand and a foot on each due to the mold size being so accommodating. Leaves zero residue on anything (including skin). Dries quickly. Highly recommend!!!

This is the second time I've bought this exact baby hand/foot print kit. I bought another brand off Amazon due to it was slightly cheaper and would have arrived on time for when I needed it.... Yeeaaahhh big mistake. I ended up throwing the other one away and buying this one anyway. It doesn't leave residue on my tots hands. It is lightweight like a marshmallow and won't break if it's dropped (or in our case thrown by a 2 year old who doesn't quite understand how to use the force yet 🙄) he used the excess from the kit as "playdough" for a good while and it never even got in my carpet or anything. We just kept wetting it when it dried out and worked it in until it was soft again. I'll be buying this one from now on. I'll not be experimenting with any others.

I ordered both the tin kit and the hanging kit, and they were great! The material was just what I wanted. Having read all the reviews before buying, I decided not to even try the rest of the kit. I ended up taking someone's advice: using wax paper and a round glass to roll it out, and using other methods to shape it. I ended up using a combination of my hands and a butter knife to finish it, but I hear a bowl works well too. The wax paper and glass worked fine with it! I was left with a couple of nice, detailed impressions, and no mess on my baby's hands. The material was light enough to ship to my mother-in-law! Since it's so light, it will be a little softer than other products when it's done. It's meant to hang somewhere or be stored in a tin, so I suggest keeping the finished product away from marauding babies until they're old enough to know better than to break it. Make sure baby's hands and feet are clean before using. My baby was 7 months when I did it, and he was difficult to work with, but it wasn't the product's fault. We're talking about babies here. Not the most cooperative bunch! Another suggestion: make sure you have plenty of time to do it after opening the package, and that you and/or your partner (and the baby!)are in a good mood, because working with a squirming baby can be a trying experience. Be prepared to do it over several times before you get a print you like, because it takes a little practice. With a little patience and creativity, I'm confident you can get the prints you want! Lighten up and have fun!

We go this product for our first child's baby shower and I ordered one for my second.The best thing is that the clay is not messy.It takes several tries to get your infant's hand/foot print done right.We are dealing with clenched fists and rolled up toes.The clay re-rolled easily. It took 6 tries for my son's hand and it was no problem.TIP: I used the backside of the clay after I rolled because it was smoother.The leftover clay was just enough for a foot print.The plastic ring is tricky. But bending it around a bit got the circle I desired.You want a home-made look to the project anyway.After, you can pick out a cute paper background and glue gun it in to a shadow box.

Horribly dull looking . When printed his feet they looked great , after an hour the print is nearly invisible and all the edges are dull. It's like a blob now. Wouldn't recommend

The product worked just as I thought it would. Thanks to some other reviews I knew some other things to do. Like making sure little hands and feet were clean. There was enough material to do both my 2 month old hand and foot print. I just checked on it last night, and it still is not quite dry.The material is so light, like marshmallow. For some reason I was expecting it to be heavier, like plaster. So even though my finial product is about 6"x4". I could still hang it as an ornament on a tree if I wanted to.
