There are baby-sized kits, average-sized kits for one or two adult hands, large kits, and family-sized kits for up to 4 people. Apart from the molding cast, what else does the kit bring to the table?

Most who saw these indicated that the semi-closed hand was the favorite, partially for the reason that an adult finger would fit inside just right, and the fingers could be felt separately.
