Nestlé NIDO has set a Guinness World record for making largest greeting card to mark the Mother’s Day.
The Guinness World Records website officially posted it as a record on Friday.
Nestlé NIDO unveiled a card at the Dubai Mall Ice Rink last weekend, measuring a massive 10 metres by 7 metres when closed, and 10 meters by 14 meters when open.
A total of 40,800 children from 68 schools across the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Jordan contributed to the card as part of Nestlé NIDO’s ‘I Love Mama’ painting competition. One student from every school was also awarded a golden heart pendant as a gift to their mother.
The attempt beat the previous record set by the University College, Dublin, Republic of Ireland, who created a free-standing Christmas card measuring 9 metres by 6 metres when closed and 9 metres by 12 metres when opened.
