When it comes to babies, their little hands and feet are the perfect keepsakes to hold onto forever. With baby hand and foot print makers, you can easily create a personalized and unique item that you can cherish for years to come. From traditional ink and clay print makers to 3D castings, there are plenty of different ways to memorialize your little one’s hands and feet.
Traditional ink and clay print makers are among the most popular for parents who wish to preserve their child's tiny prints for years to come. Ink kits are perfect for babies and young toddlers who may not have the dexterity to form a clear print yet. Simply roll or press your baby’s hand or foot onto an ink pad and then place it onto the special paper included in the kit. The special paper absorbs the ink while allowing the impression to remain visible.
For more detailed prints, clay imprints are recommended. These kits come with either air dry or oven-bake clay. Once you have carefully pressed your baby’s hand or foot into the clay, wait for it to dry or bake it in the oven depending on the type of clay. These kits come with all of the materials you need to create an imprint along with instructions on how to properly bake or air dry the clay.
Another popular choice among parents are 3D casts. These casts capture both the outside and inside of that precious moment in time and can turn them into unique and lasting mementos for years to come. 3D casts provide parents with a detailed representation of their baby’s hands and feet and the materials used have been tested to be safe and non-toxic.
No matter what type of hand and foot print maker you choose, you will have a cherished keepsake from your baby’s earliest years that you can display with pride. Whether you keep it as a part of your home décor or give it as a unique gift, these keepsakes make the perfect addition to any nursery.
