How to make a growth chart

In most homes, you can see at least one wall with pencil marks indicating a change in the growth of children living in this house. There is a way how to keep this information forever.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• a large sheet of paper for manual labor;

• scissors;

• a pencil;

• thick markers and soft colored pencils;

• ruler;

• adhesive tape.

1. First, take a piece of rough wrapping paper, something like the one into which the parcels are wrapped. Take a sheet about 120 cm long.

2. Start drawing with a pencil, then take a thick marker. Write clearly the name of your child across the sheet, stepping back

15 cm from the top, and decorate, if you will, the top of the sheet with sticky stickers or drawings.

3. Draw a line down the middle of the paper, retreating 18 cm from the top.

4. Hang the table on the back of the door so that the bottom edge is at a distance of 53 cm from the floor. Measure 8 cm up from the bottom edge and make a height of 60 cm mark. Measure from this point 30 cm and make a height of 90 cm mark;another 30 cm up will mean a mark of 90 cm Between them, make notes in centimeters.

5. Let your child stand with his back to the table. Record his height, date, age. Next, glue or attach the last photo and record.

6. Each time, measuring the growth of your child, place a series of photos and record.

7. You can use certain events to measure growth. If your child has a tooth, put it in the envelope and fasten it next to the growth data.

8. Interesting in your opinion, the child's drawings, too, glue on the table, indicating the growth of the child at this time.

9. Glue photos of friends, pet animals or special events and indicate the growth of your child during this period.

10. Decorate the table with fingerprints or feet when you measure height.

As a result, you get a table where not only the growth is indicated, but also a description of this period of the child's life is given.

Come up with stories about the places where you went for walks. For example, about a magical stone or a beloved, haunted mountain. This is a great way to help children develop their own imagination and learn to tell about what they saw.
