ACTIVITY : Child´s Growth Chart!

It´s wonderful to see your children grow. Start a growth chart in your child´s bedroom. Mark his height every few months. You´ll both be amazed at how fast they grow!

To do this, you can buy a ready made poster. You´ll find many that will adhere to the wall just like wallpaper. Others can be nailed. Many show popular children´s characters.

You can also make your own poster by using posterboard, stickers and a ruler. Mark all measurements and decorate it with your child.

Another great choice? Stick a long piece of wide masking tape to the bathroom wall (vertically). Simply grab a pen and mark your child´s height with the date. Do this before they hop in the shower every couple of months.
