As part of our project on ourselves the children have made their own height charts. They use both standard (cm) and non-standard measures. First we unrolled a long piece of paper. Then we glued on paper tape measures (available free at any IKEA store) along one edge. For non-standard measures L chose butterflies and R chose toadstools. We cut these using my Pazzles Inspiration cutter, but you could easily cut them by hand or use a sponge shape to print pictures onto the paper. The children made sure the shapes were evenly spaced when they stuck them down.

We then used the charts to measure ourselves in "toadstools", "butterflies" and cm.
