Create stunning replica's of your baby's tiny hands and feet with this 3D Baby Casting Kit from BabyRice UK.
Everything is included in this kit to make beautiful lifelike plaster casts of your baby's hand and/or feet and also display them in a box display frame. The depth of the frame for your casts is 1.75" - which gives plenty of depth so you shouldn't need to file away at your casts to get them to fit in!
3D casting gives you stunning results and an everlasting reminder of just how little your baby's hands/feet once were. Every single detailed print, line and wrinkle of your baby's hand/foot is captured, you'll be amazed at the fantastic results and will treasure your casts forever more.
THE PROCESS: 3D casting will produce amazing results and the effort is more than worth it, we promise! You will definitely need a helper to assist you (some people find that having a 2nd helper makes the process even easier, but this is up to you) and with the help of our instructions that come with the kit you will be able to produce some great casts. Your baby does not need to be sleeping to take the moulds, but we do suggest that if your baby is too wriggly during the first attempt of making a mould, then to wait until they're fast asleep before trying again (this suggestion is in our instructions). By doing this, you should avoid wasting too much of the alginate and get some perfect moulds!
ALGINATE & PLASTER MATERIALS: The casting kit contains plenty of dental, high grade colour change (chromatic) alginate impression powder - which is totally safe for use on your baby as the alginate's main ingredient is seaweed! (Dentists use this exact same alginate in their patient's mouths, it conforms to British safety standards BS 4269 Pt.2:1991 & ISO 1563:1990). There's 500g pack per kit, which is nearly double than some other kits - this 500g amount will make approx. up to 6 casts of a newborn baby and 2-3 casts for a 2-3 year old. Plus there's 800g of strong, stone casting plaster - again, double than what some other kits are offering. All materials can be bought separately should you wish to purchase more for additional casts.
3D BOX DISPLAY FRAME: With a glass measurement of 6x5" (overall frame size is approx. 8x7"), this frame is suitable to display 2 casts from a newborn baby age and is large enough to display a single hand cast of a 3 year old. The display area in the mount card is 5x4" so if you are unsure if the cast/casts of your baby will fit in, then you can draw out this shape on a piece of paper to check against your baby's hands/feet! The price of this kit represents outstanding value compared to other kits out there on the market. Whether you are purchasing this kit for yourself or as a present, you will not be disappointed with the quality!
The casting section of the kit comprises of the following:
* 500g Colour change (chromatic) dental grade Alginate
* 800g High Grade Casting Plaster
* 6 Polybags
* 2 plastic cups
* Cocktail sticks

The frame section of the kit:
The handcrafted box display frame will easily compliment any decor around the home.
The frame measures (glass area): Length 6" x Width 5" with a Depth of 2.2".
This box frame has plenty of depth to it as if baby's hand is curled up instead of spread out then it will take up more room. This frame is designed to allow for that extra room. The frame gives a professional & well proportioned display for your castings.
Mount card has a display area of Length 5.75" x Width 4.75"
Packing: the item is gift packed by hand into a nice box. It is perfectly packaged for either a treat for yourself or a gift for another. Please see pictures.
BABY KEEPSAKE GIFT: As mothers ourselves, we are only too aware of how quickly babies soon grow and it's hard to imagine just how small they once were. By taking casts of their tiny feet and/or hands, you will always have a memento/keepsake of that special time. The kit comes well packaged making this item an ideal purchase for either yourself or if you are sending as a gift. A Baby Casting Kit makes an ideal present for any new parent and grandparents and is a great choice for a Baby Shower Gift, Christening Gift, Maternity leaving Present or Baby Naming Ceremony gift for example.
