Sharmila, from York, created this cute growth chart. Let’s take a look…

What did you do?

I have been wanting to make a growth chart for my little girl for a long time but never got a chance to do it until my second one came along. The design was based on what my little girl liked the most ‘Owls’ at the time. I used pencil to sketch the design and then acrylic paint.

I already had the paint which was helpful.
It did take a bit longer than I thought as I had to look after the baby at the same time. So used nap times to do the artwork.

Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

My name is Sharmila I have a girl aged 3 and a boy aged 13 months.
I’m a working mum. I’m from the UK, North Yorkshire.

How are you finding being housebound so far?

It has not been easy but I’ve learnt a lot being around my kids, have done loads with them but I have had my down days too where just didn’t want to do anything. All in all it has brought us closer together.

Has being part of our community helped you?

It has given me great ideas to keep the kids busy, happy.
