Our canvas growth charts make a terrific personalized, thoughtful gift for any new mom, baby shower gift or child’s birthday.
Printed on thick, matte finish, cotton canvas our modern growth charts are gifts that will be treasured for years. The bright vivid owls, trains, butterflies, and dinosaurs are richly colored, as they are printed with the highest quality, eco friendly, archival inks. This custom craftsmanship creates a long lasting growth chart keepsake. Canvas growth charts feature aluminum corner grommets.
First things first …
Choose a wall to hang your growth chart from. Hang the bottom 24” (2 feet) above the floor. Wherever you hang your chart from, avoid anywhere where the canvas will be exposed to long periods of direct sunlight.
You have lots of options for hanging your personalized growth chart. Here are a few that we think are cute.
Hooks
3M makes a lot of great “no hole” products. These hooks are plastic, but are made to look like metal. They run around $4 each and are the perfect size for our aluminum grommets — even better you don’t have to use a hammer, nails, screws, etc.
Ribbon
To make the hooks cuter, tie ribbon to the grommets and hang the ribbon from the hooks. You can choose a ribbon that matches the design like we did here with the baby blue ribbon or the ribbon could create a pop of color if you used red or orange.
Wooden Character Hooks
3M makes little clear plastic hooks that we attached to these little wooden characters — we found them at a local craft store for about $1 each.
We used the 3M stickers to attach the characters to the wall and the hooks to the characters. What a fun way to hang your growth chart and continue the theme of your child’s room or nursery.
Here are some answers to some frequently asked questions about our personalized growth charts:
What should I use to write on my canvas growth chart?
To mark your child’s height and age on your canvas growth chart, we recommend a fine-tip permanent marker.
How should I care for my growth chart?
If you need to clean your canvas growth chart, you can wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. Place your growth chart such to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
What if my canvas growth chart wrinkles or my child folds it?
If your canvas wrinkles or your little one gets carried away playing with their growth chart (our little emmy loves to hide behind hers and play hide and seek), you can gently iron the back of the growth chart at a low temperature.
What if the edges of my canvas growth chart curl?
As our premium canvas is made primarily of cotton and natural fabrics sometimes have a tendency to curl slightly, we recommend ironing the backside of the canvas
Happy Growth Chart hanging!
