Making a baby handprint
Making an impression of your baby’s hand in a tablet of plaster or clay is a fun activity. It is even more fun when it becomes a 3D print so that you get a sculpture that you can put up as a freestanding object. Working with plaster is not so easy. It takes time for the plaster to dry and that is difficult when a child’s hand is moving all the time. There is also the risk of a mess. With the Happy Hands Holding Hands kit you can make a nice, clean impression of your hand and your baby’s hand in no time.

What does the Happy Hands kit consist of?
Making a handprint or a footprint in 3D is very easy with the Happy Hands Holding Hands kit. It is a DIY kit that consists of a bucket and 2 kinds of material. The first packet contains Alginate powder that you have to put in the empty bucket. Then you add the right amount of water and mix it into a lump-free substance. Then put your hand and your baby’s hand into the bucket. It is a good idea to do this when your baby is sleeping because then the hand does not move much. After a few minutes of holding still and waiting, the material has changed into a rubbery substance and you can remove the hands. The second packet contains plaster powder that you dilute with water. Then pour the plaster mixture into the holes of the substance and wait for 2 hours. Then you can take the 3D work of art out of the mould, ready for display or gift!
