    Wall height chart - do you have one?

    I want one of those charts that you tack to the wall to track your kids' heights. You know the ones!

    Have you got one? Where did it come from?

    I've tried the majors (Target, Myer etc), some kids shops, some homewares shops... No go.

    Any ideas??

    A lot of the speciality gift shops sell them. We have a gorgeous giraffe one that I got at my baby shower - it's from a gift shop.

    I did actually see them at my local Target just the other week so could you try a different store? They were in the baby section with all the baby photo albums, frames, etc.

    I also bought one for a friend from one of those stationery chain stores that you see at a lot of the big shopping centres now. The shop is called Kikki.K. They have a website so it might be on there

    HTH!

    ETA: yup, it's on their site. Type 'height chart' into the search field on their website. It's $29.95

    The kids shoe shop at Plenty Valley gave us one (sponsored by some shoe co), but i think i threw it out. i like the pen marks on the wall idea, and think i will start this month.

    We actually have a gorgeous one DP's aunt painted for DD1, we are yet to put it up but it's all hand painted with animals and things. (will post a pic to the BB album on FB)
    I am not 100% sure if she is still painting but i could find out for you.
    It has a blackboard section where you write their age and height.

    we just have one that came with the centrelink/FA pack you got at hospital

    i've seen a really nice one recently but i can't remember where think we'll just stick with the one we have though!

    I am bias but how gorgeous is THIS, i really need to see if AB is still painting and get her to do one for DD2.
    We plan on doing a measurement from her 1st birthday and tacking it to the wall with the bottom at that height then going through her MCHN book and writing in her heights at different ages

    I'm actually thinking we might just do that - as long as DD understands only mummy and daddy can write on the walls I've always wanted to do that, but we keep moving. I think we're staying where we are for a while though...

    Thanks - will check out Kikki now! There's a Kikki.K at Doncaster, I always need excuses to go there Why didn't I think of them?

    That is gorgeous. How tall is it? So you're going to start at age 1? I like that idea. We're going to do the MCHN book thing too

    Yeah dp's aunt gave it for her first b'day so we think that's appropriate
    Can measure it when I get home.

    Thanks ZF! That'd be great. Really useful and helpful.

    As opposed to....

    it was a tiger...does that help?
    No, it doesn't help at all Except to make me want one, as DS loves tigers - its one of the three words he can say, "Rrrraaaaah"

    Stop trying to "help"

    waaaaah. i'm going to go off and sulk (actually, i'm going to take DS to swimming, but sulking sounds better! ).

    i'm thinking it had to be something i've seen through the mum's grapevine email because that's the main place i see that sort of thing. i had a look at the giggle smile designs website & they have some nice ones but no tigers. if i happen to find it, i'll let you know! until then, i'll stop my version of 'helping'

    we did the whole door thing- the inside of the linen press door near the toilet ( you know the one OP)
    so much so that when we moved we took the door with us!

    Yup took it off and replaced it with a new one for the new owners.

    Now just have to find a place here to put the old door up again lol

    Pencil marks in the laundry here! If we move I will measure and re pencil, but no plans in the near future for that.
