I painted a tailored plywood board with magnetic paint and drew colourful sea creatures on it. Then I cut Nemo and his friends out of thin plywood and coloured them. Then I made round signs with the children's names on it who received the growth chart as a gift. Now they can always measure their height.

I glued flat Q-20-04-02-N block magnets to the backside of the wooden characters.

My growth chart is rather high and should be hung up on the wall. You can also paint a smaller board with magnetic paint and create a magnetic picture. Children can then use any objects or characters and to create their own ever-changing picture.
