Luna Bean XL Family Hand Casting

This kit was amazing! It came with everything we needed and the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The process was fun, and the final result came out so detailed—you can see every little line and feature. It makes such a meaningful keepsake. Definitely a great activity to do with family or as a gift idea. Highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded. I’ve actually bought this kit twice, once for my son’s 6th birthday party and again for his 11th and it was a hit both times. The instructions are clear, the process is easy once you lay everything out, and kids love the “science experiment” of dipping their hands and then seeing the mold appear.Both times we ended up with detailed plaster casts that captured every crease and fingernail. Now we have side-by-side molds of his growing hands and a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. The XL size is generous enough to fit multiple hands comfortably, and the materials set up exactly as described if you follow the timing.This is a sup fun, memorable activity for kids and adults that results in a high-quality keepsake. My best friend has done it as an activity at the holiday's for her whole family with their hands all together. Super sweet idea. Highly recommend for family projects or birthdays.

The quality of this product is fantastic. I gave this a 4 instead of 5 star rating only because of difficulty to use. I'll start with quality first though. This product blew me away with how much detail it captured. Every little line in the skin was shown. I cannot find fault with its potential to create fantastic castings. However, I think it unlikely that an inexperienced person will be able to reach that full potential on the first try. The process is not extremely difficult itself, but there are little tricks that are needed to achieve a good casting. The instructions are quite good though and there are videos on YouTube that show how to do it, so if you follow those to the letter you should have success. Here are a few things I learned in the process:• Don’t use too warm of water. Our first attempt was a complete flop because the water was too warm and the mold solution set up almost instantly, before we even got it all mixed in. I think it recommends 70 degrees F. Just remember that 70 degrees in water feels much cooler than it does in air, so if you just judge by the feel of it, I recommend erring on the side of too cold rather than too warm.• Mix the molding solution well. On our second attempt, we were worried that the mold would set up very fast like it did the first time, so we quickly mixed it up and jammed our hands in leaving more clumps than we should have. We found that the cast sets up much slower with cold water, so our hurry was unnecessary. We should have taken our time to mix the solution better.• Go as deep as you can. We mistakenly raised our hands up further than intended after finding the bottom of the bucket and ended up with a shorter cast than we would have liked.• Fill the mold and bucket as full as you can with the casting rock. We only filled ours up to where we thought we wanted the casting to end, but it turns out that the water settles out of the casting solution and rises to the top, so the top ½ to ¾ inch of the cast is lost. I wish we would have overflowed the mold in order to get as much as possible. It’s not hard to cut some off once it’s done if you put in too much.• Really take care to get the casting rock into every little spot. There is a reason the video shows them adding casting rock and swirling the bucket around on its side several times to get the rock into every little crevice. Don’t skip this step, and also make sure you get all the air out. Every air bubble is a blemish on the end product. You can touch these up, but every touch up spot is a spot that doesn’t have the texture of your skin on it.• Be careful with wrings. My wring was situated so that there was a small gap between it and my finger. This allowed the mold to get into that gap so that the wring wouldn’t come out without tearing the mold a little. As a result, the wring looks pretty bad.• A third person would be helpful. We did it with just the two of us. It is doable with just two, but I think it would have been much easier to have a person preparing while my wife and I just had to worry about getting our hands in it.This is a really cool product, and I will probably do it again sometime. Good luck!

Loved it! Instructions were clear & easily understood. It was a big enough size to give you a LOT of options on the type of keepsake you'd like to create! I think its an EXCELLENT and unique gift. Its dried for us beautifully & has shown no signs of cracking or instability - and we only air-dried! I made a keepsake with my Papaw with this, and it didn't take too long so as to be uncomfortable for either of us.

This was such a fun and meaningful activity to do with my family. The instructions were easy to follow, and the kit truly includes everything you need. I used it to create a hand mold with my family 6 hands), and it turned out beautifully detailed and is now displayed in our living room. It does require some patience during the process & with all 6 of us being in close proximity, it was funny lol! But it was absolutely worth it! This kit gave us a timeless keepsake that we will cherish - I highly recommend it for families, couples, or even a memorial idea.
