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.

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.
