Here’s a great project for anyone who has children and wants you document their growing process. It is a tutorial that will teach you how to create a DIY growth ruler chart which will be at an arm’s length any time. The coolest part is that this can be a family project and you can ask your kids for a helping hand. First of all, you will need to find the right place for this chart, preferably near a door. The materials you are going to need for this project are: pieces of wood, printed numbers (large and smaller fonts too), wood stain, clear sealer, ruler, sand paper, paint pen and a regular pen. The step by step instructions can be found on the link below, so now you can start working on this great family project right away.
