We’re often asked what kind of pen is best to use when recording a child’s height on their personalized growth chart. There are actually two parts to the answer to that question.
(Sample personalized growth chart: Zoo Friends in Ocean Blue)
First off, it’s best to use a fine point permanent marker, like a Fine Felt Tip Sharpie, on personalized growth charts to write easily and accurately. A fatter tipped pen will be harder to write legibly with and will not look quite as clear and concise.

The second part of the answer depends on the background color of personalized growth charts. Use a colored pen that shows off well against the color darker personalized growth charts – i.e. a silver pen looks best against a dark background; on lighter colored backgrounds choose a colored pen, like black, blue, red, purple, etc that stands out against the personalized growth chart’s color scheme.

User’s tip: Hang the chosen pen from a grommet with some twine so it’s easy to get to and can be used consistently whenever you choose to record your child’s height.
