Different from a traditional handprint craft, our Child Hand Casting Keepsake Kit will preserve child hands as a 3D plaster statue complete with dimples, lines, creases, and nails!
Mold a child's hands alone or together with a younger sibling. Or, try casting a kid's hands holding a small object "trophy style" to create a child sports trophy with this keepsake gift and lifecasting kit!
The Child Hand Casting Keepsake Kit makes:
- One hand statue of a single child hand with enough stone to pour an integrated base (see hand holding toy car at right), or
- One hand statue of two little children (under 5) holding hands, with no integrated base (top photo)
The Child Hand Casting Keepsake Kit is available as a Basic or Deluxe Kit.
The Deluxe Child Hand Casting Kit includes a 5" x 7" Oval Fruitwood base to display your statue. The Basic Kit does not include a base. For a more elegant look, a glass display dome* can also be purchased to display your child's hand while keeping it safe under glass.
Each kit comes with a clear glaze finish to create a glossy ceramic or porcelain look for your 3D child hand casting.
If you would like to add an optional finish paint, you will still receive the clear glaze, which can also be used over any metallic paint color to seal the metallic finish. Optional paint finishes are Metallic Pearl, Metallic Champagne, Metallic Gold, or Metallic Bronze (shown in the footprint comparison photo at right). A Metallic Antiquing Kit can be added if you would like to make a Bronze, Gold, or Champagne paint finish look "aged."
Each Child Hand Casting Kit includes:
- Molding powder (FDA & ADA approved)
- Casting stone
- Reusable molding container
- Mixing spoon
- 2 grades of sandpaper
- Cleaning stick
- Detailing pin
- Paint brush
- Clear glaze finish paint
- Easy to follow instructions
Note: The Child Hand Casting Kit makes a single plaster statue of up to two children's hands under age 5. For hand molds of children older than 5, we recommend using the Family Hand Casting Kit instead.
Quick set molding powder is safe, easy to use, and non-toxic. Children's hands are needed for only 2-3 minutes and a bit of wiggling is no problem! Child Hand Casting Kits are for children from 1 year to about age 5. The kit makes a fun, easy craft for kids, a unique child gift for a birthday, or a thoughtful older sibling gift for a baby shower or for when the new baby comes home!
Need to mold additional hands? If you want to cast more than one statue, you will need a refill kit. Order a Child Hand Refill and reuse the molding container and instructions from your original kit to save money. Just add a Child Hand Casting Kit to your cart first, then click here for a Child Hand Casting Refill.
* Glass Display Domes ship separately directly from the manufacturer and take up to two weeks to arrive. Since they are special ordered, glass domes are not returnable. Gift wrap is not available on glass domes.
