Additional Inkless hand and foot print kit (Black)

Hand and footprints are an important memory of a lost child. Here are some suggestions for capturing this precious memory:

• It’s best to use inkless wipes to collect prints wherever possible as they are permanent and pick up all the details and creases of the hands and feet. We’ve found that while embossing and glitter prints can look pretty, they can be difficult to obtain and the over time the glitter comes away and can completely peel off (which is obviously extremely distressing).
• It’s important to collect as many copies of both hand and footprints as possible, ideally at least 2 or 3. Remember that extended family like grandparents would also treasure a memory like this.
• Getting a set of black prints means parents will be able to use them in the future to make jewellery or get tattoos done (the black/white contrast makes this easier).
• Getting sets of either blue or pink prints means parents can frame them or keep in their Memory Box or a memory book.
• Some families can be hesitant about taking prints. It’s important to reassure them and offer to take them and keep them. If they change their mind, they can be sent to the family when they are ready, at a later date.
