ITEMS INCLUDED: ~7 bags of molding powder in 2 sizes; ~7 bags of plaster casting stone; ~5 reusable plastic molding containers in 3 different shapes/sizes; ~mixing spoons & sticks; ~disposable stone transfer pippette; ~2 paint brushes & metallic pearl finish; ~sanding papers & detailing pin; ~hole punch (for baby bottom); ~complete instructions. Overall, the materials will accommodate a foot up to about an infant shoe size 3 (the average age for this is 9 months) and/or an infant hand up to about age 12 months. However, every child is different and if you are unsure, measure the baby's foot. (The foot casting tray is about 5 inches long and you want to have a little wiggle room.) .... How is a 3D casting made? Mix the molding powder with water (cool setting, nontoxic & non allergenic) and insert the foot or hand (or dip baby bottom). Hold baby's foot or hand in the material for about 45-60 seconds. Wiggling is not a problem as long as your child's foot or hand remains submerged in the molding material until it sets. Remove foot, hand, or bottom leaving behind a negative 3D mold. That mold is then filled with casting stone. Once hardened, the molding material is peeled away to reveal the stone statue. Note: Your child never comes into contact with casting stone.
