My mom and I were going to get a handprint of my 3 month old daughter. The directions say to mix to toothpaste consistency. I poured the mix in while my mom stirred. We thought it was ready and went to press her hand in and it was like cement. It was rock solid and we didn't get an impression at all. It was disappointing. My husband and I have one of my son's hand and it didn't seem as hard to create.
