Measuring sticks
In this category, you will find measuring sticks that record your child's growth as decorative wall accessories. The selection ranges from various designs, materials, and lengths, suitable for any child's room.
Height Charts
Height charts are much more than just a decorative element in the children's room – they accompany your child's growth and create a personal memory wall. Choosing the right height chart depends on design, material, and length. Solid wood models (e.g., beech or pine) are particularly sturdy and can be treated with varnish or oil. Alternatively, you can find flexible versions made of fabric or as wall stickers that can be removed without leaving residue – ideal for rental apartments.
Pay attention to the length: common height charts measure between 100 and 150 centimeters, some up to 180 cm. Important is easy and secure attachment – screw mounting holds permanently, adhesive solutions protect the wallpaper. Many models have movable markers or can be written on with a felt-tip pen, so you can record new entries each year. It's worth checking the workmanship: rounded edges and pollutant-free colors are recommended for baby and children's products.
Since height charts often hang in view for years, the design should match the rest of the decor. Popular motifs include trees, animals, or geometric patterns. Choose a model that harmonizes in color with furniture or wall paint. An example from our range is the Wall Sticker Height Chart Tree with Koala – it combines a playful look with a practical measuring function. You can find more accessories to complement your children's room in the category Accessories.
More categories
In addition to height charts, there are other accessories that make the children's room functional and inviting. If you are looking for space-saving storage solutions for clothing, then children's coat hooks are a good choice – they offer space for jackets, bags, or bathrobes at a child-friendly height. For the entire wardrobe of one or more children, we recommend children's coat racks with multiple hooks and shelves. Both variants complement the height chart ideally and create a well-thought-out use of space. Consider whether your child should already be able to reach clothes independently – then low-mounted hooks are perfect. Combine different accessories to design the room individually.
Frequently asked questions
How do I mount a height chart correctly?
Mount the height chart at a height of about 80–100 cm above the floor – this allows you to comfortably position your child and read the scale well. Ensure horizontal alignment with a spirit level. For screw mounting, use wall plugs that match the wall material (e.g., drywall or concrete). Adhesive variants require a clean, grease-free surface and adhere best on smooth substrates. After a few days, check whether the height chart is still firmly attached.
From what age does a height chart make sense?
You can attach the height chart as early as birth – many parents start with the first entry at the crawling age, as soon as the child can stand independently. It is important that the height chart is mounted in a child-safe manner and has no sharp-edged parts. It is also suitable for older siblings who want to track growth. If you have multiple children, choose a model with several labeling fields.
Which materials are recommended?
Wood (e.g., solid beechwood) is particularly durable and can be repainted multiple times – ideal for multi-generational use. Fabric models are lighter and more flexible, but less suitable for permanent labeling. Wall stickers made of foil are perfect for rental apartments as they can be removed without residue. Pay attention to pollutant-free materials (e.g., water-based varnish, no plasticizers). For small children who still put everything in their mouths, models with removable parts are less suitable.
