The child grows very quickly and parents are always interested in watching this, in addition to the parameters of the growth of the child is monitored by pediatricians. The process of growth is interesting for the kid himself, and if this activity is turned into a game, the child will actively monitor it. For today in shops there is a set of variants of rostomere. About their varieties and how to make a rostomer with their own hands, we'll tell you later.
Children's medical growth meter
In modern clinics, two types of rostomers are used:
- heightometer for newborns;
- wooden scale with a stool;
- scales for newborns with a rostomer.
The newborn growth meter is a special case with a movable bottom. On its side wall there is a linear marking. To measure the height of the baby, it is necessary to put it on the body of the growth meter, and lower the lower plate to rest on the sole of the legs.
A wooden scale with a chair is used to measure the growth of older children. Growth in this case is measured both standing and sitting.
A scale with a rostomer allows you to simultaneously measure the height and weight of a child. The balance can be mechanical and electronic. In the scale with the weights of the electronic type, it is possible to immediately calculate the body mass index of the child.
Rostomers in the children's room
Rostomers designed for a children's room are significantly different from medical ones. They are bright, colorful and designed in such a way that the child was interested in measuring growth. The variety of models allows you to choose a growth meter for any interior of the children's room.
Wall-mounted scale meter
Wall-mounted scale meters have the most diverse design and can be made of any material, for example, plastic, fabric or wood. They are easy to install and operate. In order for the child to measure his height, it is only necessary to fix the heightometer at the desired level from the floor.
Stroke Sticker
Wall timometers for children are also realized in the form of stickers made of film or soft material, isolone. Such rostomers should be glued to smooth vertical surfaces at the appropriate level. In some models, additional labels may be used for markers, for example, in the form of animals.
Rostomers in the form of stickers can be decorated as a puzzle. On such a puzzle there are often places for photographs of the child, which can be pasted instead of inscriptions with the age of the baby.
Stamping-stickers can be made to order. In this case, any image is applied to the front side of the sticker. The Rostomer can be made personal or captured on it a photo of the child.
Rostometer with photos of your own hands
To make a rostomere we need:
- narrow sheet of plywood;
- paint;
- photo frames;
- tape measure;
- self-adhesive paper;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- glue.
- Sheet of plywood paint with a light tone.
- In frames, we insert photos of the child at different ages and glue them to the plywood sheet on the right side.
- We make the marking of the rostomer exactly in the middle of the sheet and paint it with a paint of a more intense color, not forgetting about the marks. For marking, you can also take the edge furniture tape. Then it just needs to be glued to the sheet.
- On the left side of the future growth meter, we glue the numbers. They need to be cut out in advance from self-adhesive paper. The Rostomer is ready!
Soft rotor with your own hands
The growth meter can be made from fabric. A little imagination and diligence, and he will be able to become a real decoration of the children's room. So, to make a soft growth meter, we need:
- cardboard;
- any dense fabric of the desired color;
- felt;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- sewing machine;
- needle;
- thread;
- glue.
- On the cardboard we draw the contour of the future rostomer and its details. Cut them out.
- Applying the contour to the tissues of the desired color, we cut out the components of the growth meter.
- Using the machine or manually, we sew all the parts of the growth meter. If a fabric that holds the shape well was not found, before the stapler parts can be sewn, it is possible to insert cardboard contours cut out before them.
- Sewing all the details together, we make the marking using a centimeter tape. To do this, glue the previously cut out from the felt numbers and lines of marking. The Rostomer is ready!
