Tiny Treasures Baby Hand & Feet Casting Kit

This kit is designed for babies aged 0–2 years old. The younger the better — newborn castings capture the most detail and are the most emotional to look back on. We always say: don't wait. The window closes faster than anyone tells you. Once baby's hand grows past infant shoe size 3, the kit can no longer capture the same level of detail

100%. Our alginate formula is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and BPA-free. It's the same type of material used in dental impressions and medical applications — specifically designed for safe skin contact. It contains no harsh chemicals, produces no heat, and rinses off easily. It is completely safe from day one of life.

This is the #1 worry — and it almost never causes a problem. The alginate sets within 60–90 seconds, which is fast enough that even a wiggly baby produces a beautiful result. A small amount of movement actually adds character and life to the casting. We also recommend doing it when baby is sleepy, fed, and content for the smoothest experience.

We do recommend for best usage to be sure that your baby is still and preferably asleep before doing the casting process.

Yes — and this is what surprises people most. The alginate formula captures fingerprint-level detail, tiny skin creases, knuckle lines, and even the texture of the skin. Most moms tell us the detail is what makes them cry when they first see it. It is not a vague shape — it is an exact replica.

The active process — mixing, molding, and pouring the cast — takes about 10 minutes. The cast then needs 24–48 hours to fully dry before handling. We recommend leaving it overnight and revealing it the next morning.

Contact us with a photo of your result and we will do everything we can to help — whether that's troubleshooting advice, replacement materials, or a full refund under our 30-day guarantee. We are a small team of parents ourselves and we genuinely care that you get a result you love.

It is consistently the gift that gets the most emotional reaction at baby showers — and the one that gets talked about for weeks afterward. It arrives beautifully packaged and ready to give. If you want to be the person who made the new mom cry happy tears — this is it.

Yes. The finished white plaster casting can be painted with the included paint, left natural, or further decorated however you like. Many moms paint theirs gold, silver, or rose gold for display. The plaster takes paint beautifully and dries to a smooth, professional finish.
