Impressionable Kids Australia first commenced operating in 1999 with our first outlet opening in Hornsby, New South Wales. Since then we have expanded Australia wide and have outlets in almost every state.
We have a new owner since May 2024, which has led to exciting new product development, modernisation of our popular range and the introduction of some brand new products. Many more are also coming so watch this space!
We are the leaders in this industry having seen many others come and go in the past 25 years and we pride ourselves on our incredible craftsmanship during this time.
We currently offer the largest range of high quality products in the baby keepsake and memorabilia space as well as providing exceptional customer service.
We are committed to providing everlasting memories which suit the individual taste of all our clients and have many options to suit all forms of decor .
Please take the time to look through our keepsake section to view our range of products which can be adapted to suit your style and colour scheme. We are one of the only companies in Australia that allow for full customisation of all of our keepsakes. Meaning, you can choose all your colours, mats, frames, and impressions colour in all of our frames.
We also have just officially launched our contemporary range which is a modern take on our classic favourite. Same beautiful impressions, simply presented in a modern, sleek and contemporary new designs.
At Impressionable Kids we hand make products that will create a memory for a life time, so we make sure that our customers frames are made to last forever, unlike other sculpturing companies we do not cut corners.
Impressionable Kids is a member of the Professional Picture Framers Association of Australia, we have access to the very latest products and techniques on offer in the picture framing industry, our quality is unmatched.
We have listed below other reasons why our products are more superior:
We can take impressions at any age but you really want to capture just how little they once were. As we all know they grow so quickly so the earlier the better.
We have taken impressions of baby’s literally hours old as well as a 99 year old!
We do not recommend taking feet impressions once the child has reached the age of approximately two years old. Having said that please discuss your request with your local franchisee as each child does grow at different rates.
If your child is too old to have their two hand and two feet impressions taken there are some other lovely options available such as a one hand and one foot or just their two hands framed together. This way you are still able to capture those special memories of your little one.
We take a latex type mould of your baby’s hands and feet by placing a playdough type consistancy mixture around their little hand and foot which takes approximately 30 to 60 seconds to set. Once this has set we gently remove the mould.
We pour a high quality sculpturing stone mix into the moulds which we have taken of your baby’s hands and feet. We do not use plaster as this is far too soft and will not last.
Yes, the casting process we use is completely non-toxic to baby’s skin and is non-allergenic. We have never had any adverse reactions.
We are great framers but not so great photographers so we need you to supply the photo. If you don’t want to take a photo yourself we are more then happy to refer you on to one of the professional photographers we can recommend. We prefer either a 6″x 4″ or a 5″x 7″ size photo, however if you have a different size photo then please talk to us about resizing your frame to suit.
We say that we will have your frame finished within six to eight weeks, however if you need your frame earlier for special circumstances then please talk to us and we will endeavor to meet your needs. Please note if the photo is not supplied at the time of your initial appointment this will delay the completion date.
Yes we do. Our gift vouchers are professionally printed and can be redeemed at any of our franchise locations across Australia.
No, over the years we have received many calls from distressed customers who have tried using a DIY kit unsuccessfully.
Impressionable Kids do not sell or recommend “do it yourself” kits as the processes involved in taking an impression takes days of training. The chances of you obtaining a successful impression on your first, second or even third attempt is extremely slim.
The quality of the materials in kits is unknown; therefore, even if you manage to get a good impression you do not know if it will stand the test of time or turn to dust.
A comparison between our prices & the cost of a kit are minimal and the kit usually does not include framing or an engraved plaque.
Impressionable Kids began franchising in 1999 to ensure it continued to meet the high demand and maintain the product quality that Impressionable Kids was so well known for. We now have franchise locations throughout Australia and are continually looking for new ways to improve and expand our business.
Each franchise is Australian owned and operated by families with children, they have a thorough understanding and the experience required when it comes to dealing with your child.
The new franchisor Tracey, took over in May 2024 and works hard to ensure that each and every customers needs are met through our franchise network. Being a previous franchisee and a neonatal nurse by trade, and a previous customer of Impressionable Kids herself means we have an excellent understanding on all levels.
We specialise in making beautifully handcrafted, framed hand and feet sculptures, however we have now expanded our range to include other keepsakes such as fingerprint jewellery, birth collages, pet sculptures and name frames.
