How Do You Make A Personalized Wood Growth Chart For A Child Or Toddler?
I’ve always loved the idea of measuring the growth of our kids and the memories shared from seeing the dates and marks along the way. Since our family currently lives in a rented apartment, it was important to have a growth chart we can take with us when we leave. Generally wood growth charts range from $25 to $30 online, plus shipping. You can make your own personalized one for around $15-20 at home. The fun part of this project is you can personalize it for one specific child or for a family of children. I chose to make one for our entire family, so our chart is gender neutral and is decorated with stripes and our last name monogram. You could decorate yours with the name of a child and any theme or design. Step 1 1. First, choose a piece of wood at your local home improvement or hardware store.
