A wooden height chart handmade by Little Miss Viking in New Zealand makes a great family keepsake and you can get your wooden growth ruler personalised for free, they are designed as a giant modern wooden ruler.
Our wooden height charts are family heirlooms in the making. They make original personalised unisex gifts for Christmas, new arrivals, christenings, first birthdays, best of all they can move house when you do. No more lost history!
By personalising them with a family name (rather than the child's), they can still be enjoyed if further new additions arrive later on. Being a stylish home accessory as well as being practical, the "Giant Rule" wooden height chart does not have to be hidden away in a child's bedroom or nursery and instead can be a centrepiece to the home in a hallway or kitchen.
Add a customisation to your family’s height chart. Add text going vertically up the right side ie.”Our Growing Family” or “The Smith Family Rules. Max size is 600mm long and approx 10 cm high text size may be shrunk to fit.
A great family keepsake, this pine height chart is the perfect way to keep track of your growing family. The wooden pine height chart is marked from 20cm to 200cm and is designed to be installed 20cm off the floor enabling plenty of room for skirting boards.
Other personalisations you can make to your wooden height chart are, changing from cm to inches, changing where the numbers start to avoid skirting or get more height, requesting a custom font for the the personalisation.
Top tip if you know anyone that wants a height chart buy them on the same order and it will reduce the freight costs
When you measure your family you must write onto the wood with a normal ball point pen or pencil. DO NOT USE A PERMANENT MARKER as it will run/smudge.
Fine tip Sharpie pens are sometimes suitable please do a test patch on the reverse side if you are unsure.
Personalised height charts will have the numbers placed vertically. All non personalised height charts will have horizontal numbers.
If you are not hanging immediately these must be stored flat.
When hanging do not place in direct sunlight. All boards are dried and stored before being turned into charts. Environmental conditions can impact the chart-
Do not place outdoors, in direct sunlight, in the direct path of a heater or heat pump. Very Moist conditions do not suit wooden height charts. Securing at the top and the bottom will prevent any bowing if placed in unfavorable conditions.The height chart comes with a saw-tooth hanger on the back that can be mounted on a 3m hook at 195cm off the ground.

What is the best pen to use on the height chart please - ink or ballpoint....or something else?
We recommend you use a fine point marker or ballpoint pen. Avoid using a pen that is very inky as it will bleed into the wood. (You can also test a pen on the back of your height chart before you use it.)

Hi There. We are a school in East Auckland and would like to have a height chart outside. How resilient to the weather are your wooden rulers? What would suit us best
Hi there Thank you for your message. For going outside we would make one out of macrocarpa which looks similar to the pine but can be outdoors I would paint on the numbers and coat it or we can engrave the numbers and then it would be fine outside. Regards Jess

Temporarily moving to get earthquake repairs done Jess & Dan realised the markings on their door frame showing their then two year-olds growth would be lost.
Looking for an affordable option that would save the markings and move with them led Jess to make her own growth ruler. Before Jess could hang it a friend asked for one. Little Miss Viking was started and grew from there.
Affordable personalised memories & gifts are now our full time focus.
