Children's Growth Chart

Every momma out there loves to track their child’s growth. From pencil marks on a door frame to elaborate growth charts that hang on the wall of their bedrooms, there are many ways to measure your little ones.

And Miss Natalie’s Growth Chart is a divine way for simplistic moms everywhere to record those milestones.

Packaged in an heirloom wooden box, the growth chart is made of one four-foot long burlap ribbon mounted across two wooden dowels. Just one nail and you’re ready to get started.

Rather than the traditional growth chart with numbered markers, this unique set uses a tag and pin method to record measurements. There are twenty tags included in the set (ten red and ten manilla) and each has a space to record your child’s name, age and the date.

Measure up your babe, fill out the critical info and then place just a bit of glue on the pin head. Secure the tag in place and viola! The measurement is forever recorded.

With such a visual presence, this set focuses more on seeing the differences between each marked space. If you think that your children will want to look back and know that they measured 5’4″ tall on Christmas Eve the year they turned 11, you’ll have to mark the measurement on the tag before you pin it up.

This growth chart would look great in any room, but it is particularly fitting for those with a more basic, handmade, simple decor. At just $56, this would make a great gift for any family and will certainly become a keepsake item.
