Kids love to keep track of how big they’re getting. Having a growth chart gives a child confidence and proves to him or her that, while they may feel too small to do many things, they are indeed getting bigger. These Personalized Growth Charts by Erin Condren are high-quality, printed on canvas, personalized with the child’s name and birthdate at the top, and best of all, have spots where you can compare the child’s height to others (for example, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, a younger brother or sister). While these are expensive, at $75, they will last for the child’s lifetime and be a keepsake he or she will look back at with fond memories when they’re older. You can view this unique growth chart at ErinCondren.com.

I just stumbled upon this growth chart by Miss Natalie which is like none I have seen.  Created by designer Natalie Davis, this Growth Chart comes beautifully packaged in an heirloom wooden box.  It consists of a four foot long jute cloth that is hung with a bright red satin ribbon.  The set includes twenty tags (half  red, half cream) for you to write your child’s name, age, and the date.  You then affix the tag to the jute fabric with the enclosed safety pins.  When your child is fully-grown, you can pack the growth chart back in the box as a special memory.

I love the idea of this growth chart and I find its handmade, simple look to be very appealing.  It would definitely be a great conversation piece in any child’s bedroom.  You can purchase one for $56 at fawnandforest.com. I think it would also make a very unique and thoughtful gift for a baby shower.
