Product was relatively easy to use. Obviously the difficult part is to get your child to cooperate with you depending on their age. What I did like about this product is that I was able to use it about 15 times since my baby wasn’t cooperating at nine weeks old. As you can see I was still able to get four good handprints over the course of 2 1/2 hours.... and these are all from one kit. So I was actually able to get four ornaments from one kit. The material is very lightweight and has a slight smell to it but it’s not a bad smell. My husnand said “vanilla”. These aren’t actually ceramic but more like a foam so they won’t break with a fall or something. I decided to use my own ribbon which I also found on amazon.

Please do not buy this product. I’m not only disappointed, but sad that I couldn’t use it to make a keepsake ornament of my baby’s handprint. This is the first Amazon review I have left giving an item only one star. I purchased 4 of these baby print keepsakes 5 months ago so I could send one to all of my daughters grandparents. I wanted to have in time to make for the holidays and wanted to wait until she was a bit older.Today, I excitedly sat down and opened 2 of the 4 packages to begin making the handprint ornaments. The packages have never been opened up until today. My husband we’re going to tag team. My daughter is 9 months old and loves helping with crafts. As I opened the box I compared the impression material and saw that the impression material was exactly the same: hard, rubbery and had a strong odor.On a positive note: packaging was cute, all materials easy to identify with simple to follow directions. The “impression material” was sealed in a package along with a plastic small rolling pin, plastic hole puncher, 3 ribbons and a circular mold.The negative: the “ impression material “ is a rubber like material that is 100% impossible to knead and get to the consistency of taking an impression (hand or foot). I followed all directions. I couldn’t even knead the product. My husband, who is incredibly strong also laughed Snd said it was like trying to knead a rubber ball. It was impossible to knead to the consistency the directions called for. It’s as if the product went “bad,” however, it was like that for multiple packages. The material will not take an impression, period. It does not do what the description states it will.Sadly, I can’t return all 4 products since I’m past 30 days. This product is not what I expected. The material is impossible to use. It is NOT a molding type material. It is rubber and hard. Please save your money and purchase another product. What a waste. Read more

Easy to work with and create a lasting memory. Make sure to follow the instructions thoroughly; they are simple and clear. The foam clay will NOT be perfect; there will be minor bumps, scratches and air bubbles. However, with the amount of time spent creating the final product (very little), one shouldn’t expect perfection. Definitely worth the $!My baby was almost four months by the time I got around to creating this impression. However, the timing was just right. It probably would not have worked earlier as babies need to have the ability to keep their hand open for at least 5 seconds. The ornament took 2 people to create. My husband was holding our son by the table and I pressed his hand into the impression. I cut a smaller circle for the ornament as the one provided was much too big!TIP: make sure to press down deep and press each finger individually into the mold. Remember, it’s ok to take several attempts to complete a good impression. The clay is very forgiving and moldable. :) Read more

I bought this kit to make a handprint of my 5 month old Grandson who lives in Switzerland and was visiting for Thanksgiving.It comes with a very small amount of the modeling dough. I rolled it out as small and as thick as as I possibly could and pressed his tiny hand into it as hard as I could without hurting him and without pushing out the bottom of the dough. It looked like I had a fairly good impression and I left it out to dry for 48 hours.When I checked it the next day, the print had almost completely disappeared during the drying process! Only a small part of his thump remained. And he had already left to return home to Switzerland so sadly I will never have a hand print of his first Christmas. 😢😢😢And since the dough is so thin, when it dried, it dried bent and not flat.For $10.00, this kit should come with twice as much of the modeling dough so that you can make a deep, deep impression to allow for what will be lost due to the drying process.This is a terrible, overpriced and disappointing product. Don’t waste your money or your memories on this… look for something better. I wish I had. Read more

I bought this product from this listing a couple of years ago when I had my son and it was great and easy to use. I recently had another baby and decided to order another kit so I could have matching prints. This time, the clay was totally dry and wouldn't take an impression. I thought it was a fluke and ordered another, and it also wouldn't work. They have definitely changed the formulation and it's way worse. Would not recommend. Read more

This is an absolute joke. I appreciate the concept, but it absolutely does not work. First of all, the "rolling pin" they include is a small 1" plastic tube. There's nothing on either end of the tube to grasp, so it's nearly impossible to roll the material out flat and evenly. Second, the consistency of the material is like chewing gum. It's extremely sticky and very firm (even after kneading). It literally picked up every single piece of lint and looked terrible. Here's the biggest problem: the material is so firm that you have to PUSH your child's hand or foot into it to make an indent. My 12 month old baby was not happy about having her hand pressed down. Aside from that, it doesn't even take a proper imprint! It was like a basic outline of her hand. This went straight into the trash. Read more

Bought a few of these to make gifts for my family after the birth of a first grandchild.Pros*Easy to use*No mess*Kit Provides all items required including ribbon to make ornament.*Able to remould and redo if mistakes made.*Very light material so would not pull at tree.Cons*Drys very soft which I feel could become squished and loose imprint when stored.Personally would prefer an old style plaster of Paris for this use.

Made two of this out of the provided "clay" - one considerably better than the other. The one is to go in a frame and the other makes it clear the material used isn't so great (still soft despite being set), but honestly one gets what one pays for.My main issue is that the "clay" left a chalky smell on my hands which isn't ideal when one is pressing baby hands and feet into it. Ensure the hands and feet get wiped afterwards as directed! Read more

Given it cost me £7 I was expecting enough clay for more than one hand print. All you get is a cookie cutter type circle, a little bit of red ribbon and two small tubes. Not worth the money. The clay it's self wasn't great. Although it is non toxic, it shrinks quite a bit when drying.Such a shame. Read more

I bought this even after I had read the bad reviews. Thought I’d give it a go. It is very disappointing. It was easy enough to do but the result was rubbish. The print looked fine when it was done but as it dried, it looked really poor (and I did a good deep imprint). Ended up having to throw it away so was a complete waste of money. Read more

This product isn’t what it says it is. It is more like a foam. You can make a print but it doesn’t last perfectly and starts to close in. The texture is bubbly and sticky. The circle cutter is huge and the ‘ornament’ dried to a plastic shiny look with a bend in it despite being placed on a flat surface as instructed. Waste of money. Read more
