@Nancy, I just nearly fell off my chair. I ordered one of those charts you linked to. Took me a two seconds to decide on that. Thank you for the mention!
Have you ever thought that the heavely decorated kids’ stuff might be because they see their world in a different way? That the colors and various shapes stimulate their brains to maximize synapse binding?
I just bought one similar on etsy (see the link). It’s a digital reproduction of a vintage wooden ruler from England.
They offer two different models.

This is so perfectly obvious! Should be the standard for growth charts for sure:)

There’s a similar DIY version of this which costs way less… a ruler decal I found in etsy shop “Abbie’s House” http://etsy.me/eoVu5L . The whole project cost me less than $30. http://jordanlucas.blogspot.com/2011/02/growth-chart-for-jordi.html
