• piece of cake!

  I remember doing something like this when I was a kiddo and wanted to capture a memory of our newborn. This kit was so simple! The "dough" is ready-to-go in a foil pack and all you do is warm it up in your hands. Then you roll it out and smush the foot into it. The best part is if it doesn't come out well you can do it over and over until you get one you like :o) (Imagine with a squirmy infant this might take a few tries). It takes about six hours to dry on top - then you flip it over and it's dry in 24 hours. Doesn't leave any goo on your hands or make a mess. Lastly - there was enough dough to do the hand too and if your kiddo is a newborn they'll both fit in the frame with no trouble.

  I recently received this as a gift for the birth of my new daughter. I had purchased the keepsake box for my other daughter and was so happy with the results that I was excited get another one. I followed all the directions and was able to easily make an impression of my newborn's foot. Well, as it was drying my 2 year old found it and broke it into a gazillion pieces. I was devastated and thought I would have to buy an entire new kit. I decided to give customer service a shot to see if i could buy replacement clay and was told that they would send replacement clay out to me immediately, FREE OF CHARGE!!! Can you believe it!!! It was even my fault. Needless to say I will continue to buy from this company and will rave to all my friends about them! THANKS PEARHEAD!!!!
  
  

• Wonderful keepsake

  I read the other reviews of this product before ordering it and before attempting to make the foot casting. The material for casting is great - it's like a lightweight foam material that is already mixed and ready to go (Another kit a friend bought me required you to mix ingredients). The material in this Babyprints kit stays moist so you can re-do footprints until you get them right. And I completely bypassed the adhesive included in the kit and instead used a hot glue gun to mount the footprint in the frame. Also, I don't think it mentions this in the product description, but included in the kit are 3 mats - 2 have 5x7 cut-outs and one is for a 4x6. It's nice because you have more options on picture sizes. I actually ended up using the 4x6 for the footprint side because it displays it really nicely.
  
  

• Very nice Impression Kit :o)

  I bought this and did my son's footprint. It is very simple to use and looks wonderful afterwards. When I was shopping for an impression kit, most of the ones I found looked very cheap, but this one looks great and is of high quality. I'd recommend this kit to anyone.
  
  
• Wonderful gift and keepsake!!!

  I received this as a gift and I love it. I know that it will be a gift that I will enjoy for many years to come as my son gets older. Plus, it is so easy to do. The hardest part was trying to get my son to press his foot down hard enough so that I could get a good cast of it but in the end it turned out great and the finished product looks so neat. I can't wait to give this as a shower gift to someone else. A word to the wise-- when you asemble this product make, sure that you use glue to hold the footprint in place in the frame because the adhesive that comes with this kit will not hold it.
  
  
• So Easy!!
  By A3GY3GJ93WCG8R on 2004-11-01
  This product is so easy to use. The plaster is already prepared and ready to use out of the package. There is really nothing to set up, so there's no wasted time. The plaster stays wet long enough to redo the footprints as necessary. It looks great when put together.
  
  
• Nice idea...poor execution

  I got one of these for hand print and one for footprint--there really isn't room to do both. The product was easy to roll out and prep. It will take two people to get a really good impression--one to hold the appendage and one to press the clay and it is best done while baby is asleep. I recommend replacing the adhesive for the imprint with better quality double stick tape--mine kept falling down.

  We received this as a baby shower gift and loved it! It was very easy to use and the instructions were actually clear and logical (as opposed to the ones where they make no sense and you're trying to guess what they really meant). We did our daughter's when she was a week old, so we were able to fit both little feet in the allotted space. We put it on our mantle with her official hospital newborn pic. It looks wonderful and gets lots of compliments. And best of all, we have a fabulous momento of her early days. This is a wonderful way to get your baby's hand or footprint and display it elegantly. I'll be buying lots of these to give as gifts from now on.
  
  
• Much Better...
  By AGVDE36OW71K2 on 2004-06-15
  This was the best impression kit that I have ever used. The frame is beautiful and the mats are good quality. The best part is the molding compound... It's not sticky! You don't have to wet it down! Minimal clean up. The only reason that I didn't give this set 5 stars is that I think that (...)price tag is just a little too high.
  
  
• looks great, easy to use

  Looks nicer, better quality, and easy to use; Especially compared to the other one I found on Amazon - and purchase. Read my review in Babysteps.

• Absolutely Adorable

  This is is something that you must buy for your own baby or as a gift. It is VERY easy to make the footprint and it looks great when completed. There was even enough left over for me to make a handprint as well. They only negative that I have is that it is only offered in mohagany which may or may not go with your decorating scheme.
  
  
• Great Grandparent Gift
  By A3TTJ2SLMZ5T0B on 2005-10-07
  We ordered three: one for each set of grandparents and one for ourselves. They are sooo cute. The only problem is that the adhesive for the footprint fails and the footprint falls. It happened on all three! The problem is easily solved with a little superglue, and it still makes a great gift.
  
  
• Nice product
  By AILM3RA8U0TND on 2007-07-23
  This was a gift for a friend. She said the clay was very easy to work with and after the first failed attempt to get her infant's foot mark she was able to re-roll the clay to set it again.
  I viewed the end product and it looks very nice.
