Track your child's growth milestones with the Dragon Tales height chart from Sebra. Follow these simple steps to install and use it safely.

Quick answer

Hang the Dragon Tales height chart on a clear wall at the correct starting height, then mark your child's height at each milestone using a soft pencil or removable sticker.

Why choose a wall-mounted height chart

A dedicated height chart keeps measurements consistent and creates a keepsake you can revisit for years. The Dragon Tales design, with its illustrated beanstalk and playful dragon motif, turns a routine check into a fun ritual. Because it mounts with a single nail, you can place it anywhere without damaging the wall beyond a small hole.

What to consider before mounting

The chart is made of paper sandwiched between two wooden holders. It is lightweight but not waterproof, so keep it away from humid areas like bathrooms. The measurement range starts at 56 cm (roughly the height of a newborn) and goes up to 179 cm, covering most childhood years. Ensure the wall surface is flat and clean for the chart to hang straight.

Steps to measure your child with the Dragon Tales height chart

Choose the right wall location: Pick a spot where the chart will be fully visible and your child can stand flat against the wall. Avoid areas near doors or furniture that could bump the chart. The wall should be free of baseboard obstructions so the zero mark aligns with the floor. A common mistake is placing the chart too high. The bottom edge must sit exactly at floor level for accurate readings.
Mount the chart securely: Drive a single nail or screw into the wall at the top hanger location. Use a level to ensure the chart hangs straight. The wooden holders keep the paper taut, so it will not sag over time. Check that the chart is vertical before marking any heights. A tilted chart will give inaccurate measurements.
Position your child correctly: Have your child stand barefoot with their back against the wall, heels together, and looking straight ahead. Place a flat object like a book on top of their head, ensuring it is level. Mark the spot where the bottom of the object meets the chart. Do not let your child slouch or tilt their head. Use a consistent time of day for each measurement to avoid variation from daily spine compression.
Record the measurement: Use a soft pencil or a removable sticker to mark the height directly on the chart's surface. Write the date next to each mark. The chart's illustrated plant leaves provide natural spots for notes. Avoid using permanent markers or pens that may bleed through the paper. Pencil marks can be gently erased if needed.
