Record every centimeter of your little sprout’s growth spurts with Studio 1a.m.’s MeasureMe Stick. Designed to look like an oversized ruler, the 7-foot tall stick serves as modern art as well as a way to chart your tot’s quest to inch past the amusement park ride height requirement. Studio 1a.m.’s designers Jody Work and Donna Placenza along with Joshua Enck make each piece by hand in Chicago from bamboo using non-toxic ink and finish.

+ MeasureMe Stick $120
