Height Chart

This project doesn't really need an explanation... at least I don't think so. Pretty much, you do what you like with it!

I used a piece of thin spare wood that I had (remember the panels I made for my nursery? This is one of the spare pieces from that). I cut the top in a bit of a fancy shape, making the entire thing a little over 5 feet high. Paint it your base color, then measure off and make the ticks for each inch (and half and quarter inch) going up the middle of the board, using a black Sharpie pen. You can start anywhere from 1 foot to 18 inches. I also drilled a hole in the top for hanging.


Have fun with the next part. I painted squares along the board as spaces for either photos or writing down the dates and heights of each child. I decided to go for a bug theme... as though this was a rather tall plant and the bugs were occupying the leaves. You can do whatever you wish.

This is a great gift for anyone who has children... kids always want to see how tall they've grown, and this chart won't rip like many of the other paper ones out there. :)
