Preparation Tips

• Wait until right after you’ve fed your baby. They are probably getting sleepy and you can likely create the mold quite easily at this time as drowsiness takes over.
• Sing or read to them. If they engrosses in a book or singing along with you, they can become quite still and you can sneak in the molding of a hand or foot while their attention is otherwise occupied.
• Give them an engaging toy or a mirror. Toys captivates babies. If there is one or two that you know of that always grabs their attention, you might just be able to sneak in that two minute molding while they are playing. Similarly, babies generally love mirrors. They are simply fascinated by their own reflection looking back at them and doing all of the things they are doing! Mirrors, then, can provide helpful interaction for a couple of minutes.
• Give them a little snack of their favorite food. While they are busy chowing down, you can create the mold for your casting!
• Wait until they are asleep. Often, it’s just simplest to wait until they are sleeping deeply to create the mold for your casting. They’ll never even know it happened! And you’ll have plenty of time to create the perfect mold.
