How to make it
Wet concrete can burn skin, so everyone wears rubber gloves, and kids press hands in through a plastic bag.
1Grease the mold
Spray the inside of the saucer with cooking spray so the stone pops out later.
2Grown-up step: mix the concrete
With gloves and a mask on, mix concrete and water in the bucket outside until it's like thick brownie batter.
3Fill the mold
Scoop the mix into the mold about 2 in deep. Tap the sides to bring up air bubbles.
4Wait 30 minutes
Let it firm up a little so prints hold their shape.
5Press the prints
Press hands in gently, then decorate with pebbles. Write names and the year with a stick.
6Let it cure
Cover with plastic and leave it 48 hours in shade. Pop it out and let it dry another week.
Concrete is heavy. Have a helper mix and carry it, and do all the decorating at a garden table.
