How to use the reach chart

• Children find it fun to see how high they can reach
• Parents are surprised to see how high even the smallest child can reach
• It is fun to run a competition to see who can reach the highest and mark the chart with a sticker with the name and age of the child
• The reach chart can be used to see which household surfaces a child  can reach as they get older
