Little HippoBaby Ornament Keepsake Kit (Newborn Bundle) - 2 Easels, 4 Ribbons & Letters! Handprint and Footprint Clay Casting Kit for Baby Shower Gifts, Boys & Girls

you should order this now because you never know... I ordered this a while ago and never got around to doing it and one of my cats passed away and I never got to make her paw print... thankfully, the place that did her cremation made a beautiful clay paw print for me. I decided to wait until I was ready to get a new kitten to make them. That day finally came and of course I couldn't find the original kit. But it's such a special idea and relatively inexpensive so I ordered another. I actually ordered two because now I had three pet pets. I have a pet skunk, a cat, and now a new kitten. I made them right away and now they are in the process of drying. They were extremely easy to make with simple instructions. The paint didn't come with the color to match my decor so I bought a small thing of paint elsewhere. They came out beautifully! I recommend having a second person to help you put pressure on their paws because it's hard to hold your pet and put pressure at the same time. I can't wait to decorate them! I also would recommend cutting the letters apart, so you can press them into the clay without another letter being in the way. I would order this 100 times over to have this special keepsake forever!UPDATE: I added a photo of the end result. I am so in love with how they came out! rowan's needs a little touching up, so I'm waiting for some white paint to come but other than that they're better than I could've hoped for since I have zero artistic talent. I'm obsessed!

It was what I was looking for for a gift.

Great quality!

This was a pretty decent kit with easy to follow instructions.I liked the addition of numbers and letters so I could stamp the name and date on each mold. I wish I would have been able to just have two circles in my kit, but instead I got a circle and a heart.Paints and ribbons were also included for those that wish to further decorate/design their prints.

My family has a tradition to make a handprint on the baby’s first birthday and this kit is the best one we’ve used. I love that it comes with the letters to give it personalization, and the heart mold makes it so pretty. I haven’t tested the paint but everything else is perfect! I will say, it’s small and the mold wouldn’t fit a kid over the age of three cause my three year’s old hand barely fit in the circle, but you could just get a bigger circle or roll it out yourself.

Such a cute idea

Sadly, our kit was missing half of one of the display stands and had only one round mold so it took extra days to complete the project and we have to find another way to display it.

Reason I bought it:I wanted to do a cute memento of my baby. The shapes fit my 3 week old hands and both feet. I am not sure how much longer I can fit them for my baby but I plan on using the stencils again. I might have to make an image with the baby's thumb prints like bear ears and paint a bear when the baby is bigger. I love the alphabet letters it comes with they work really well.Pros:-Easy to use-Cute molds-Reusable-Very cheap but great quality kitCons:-Takes two people to make a good print (See tip below)-Can be hard to redo if you take too long (Not products fault since that's what air dry clay does. Just user error)Tip:-The clay dries quickly so get your baby in your arms and have someone else prep the molds. Plus have some oil on hand preemptively if it starts to dry. We had to scramble to find oil to reset one mold that didn't turn out correctly the first go and it was already starting to crack. Then the baby started fussing because we took too long to reset the mold.Overall:Great product to do as a couple and also for owners of pets. Although, I didn't use it for my dog/cats I can see this being very cute to do as well; especially for older dogs/cats as a keepsake. I wish I did this before one of my cats passed away. As I am usually the artistic one, my spouse loved how easy this was to make and really enjoyed the end result. I highly recommend this as a baby shower gift and wish that my family gave it to me instead of the piles of clothes my baby outgrew in a week!
