What Size are Baby Milestone Discs?

Most baby milestone discs measure between 4 and 6 inches in diameter. Some are even smaller, measuring just 3 inches across. The size of the disc you choose will depend on the age and stage of your child.

If you have a newborn, you’ll probably want to choose a smaller disc so it’s not too big for them. As your child grows, you can move up to a larger disc. There are also some milestone discs that come in different sizes so you can use them as your child grows.

Conclusion

Making your own milestone discs is a great way to commemorate all of those special moments in your baby’s first year! And they make for beautiful photos too. All you need is a little bit of wood and some paint, and you can create these keepsakes that will last a lifetime.

Here’s how to make your own wooden milestone discs: 1. Start by finding a piece of wood that is large enough to write on. You can use any type of wood, but we recommend using something like birch or maple for the best results.

2. Once you have your piece of wood, use a pencil to lightly draw out the design for your discs. You can keep them all the same size, or vary the sizes depending on what look you are going for. 3. After you have your design drawn out, use a saw to cut along the lines.

If you don’t have access to a saw, you can also use a sharp knife to carefully score the wood before breaking it apart along the scored lines. 4. Once your discs are cut out, it’s time to paint! We recommend using acrylic paint because it provides good coverage and dries quickly.

But feel free to get creative with whatever type of paint you have on hand. Just be sure to let each disc dry completely before moving on to the next step.
