Have the children form sign language words and letters, then mount them in series to a longer board. Place the beater into the powder in the molding container, and add water while mixing. You'll need to be holding the container during the mixing as it is fairly viscous, so you may need an assistant, or stop the mixer while adding water. The Edinburgh family hand casting kit developed by artist Doug Lowe would be ideal for a small family of three of four. If you have a vacuum chamber you can remove some of the bubbles from the molding compound by pulling a light vacuum from it. It may foam up, so be prepared with a large container, or a willingness to clean up a mess. Prepare the casting for mounting by sanding the mounting surface of the casting flat, and ideally parallel to the fastener. Scratch name and date of the casting into this surface where it will be hidden from view but accessible if needed later to resolve inevitable fights over who's hand it really is later.

Although marketed as a couple’s kit, there’s still ample space to squeeze in a small child’s hand and triple the fun. How about making it three kids, or two little kids and an adult’s hand? It’s really up to you.
