For all you young moms and pops (and grammys and abuelos!), here is a fun weekend project: a do-it-yourself height growth chart for the adorable beanstalk kiddos in your lives.

We recently did this for Lucas (who towers at 2’8″, below), easy-peasy:

1. Buy this decal kit from Amazon (ASIN B00MIIYLKW)

2. Buy a nice piece of wood at your local hardware store

3. Stain and seal the wood, and then apply the decals

4. Watch the progress of your little ones, growing up so fast!
