How 1,100 UAE Kiddos From Kings' School Dubai Built a Record-Breaking UAE Flag with Hama Beads and BoxFetti! 

Have you ever dreamt of being part of something truly epic? Something that would leave you with a story to tell for years to come, and maybe even a place in the history books? Well, for over 1,100 incredible children at Kings' School Dubai, that dream became a reality thanks to a phenomenal collaboration with BoxFetti!

It all started with a shared passion for creativity and a desire to celebrate the UAE's rich heritage. Kings' School Dubai was buzzing with excitement for the upcoming 51st National Day, and they envisioned a project that would not only foster a sense of unity amongst the students but also leave a lasting impression. BoxFetti, the UAE's leading supplier of Hama beads, quickly became the perfect partner in this ambitious endeavor.

Imagine the sheer scale of the project! Almost a quarter of a million Hama beads - 242,208 to be exact - they counted EVERY SINGLE ONE - meticulously arranged to form a breathtaking rendition of the UAE flag.

The logistical 'dance' of organizing 1,100 eager young artists was an experience in itself, but the true magic unfolded as each child contributed their unique piece to the puzzle. It was an incredible example of collaboration, a testament to the power of teamwork, and a celebration of the diverse talents that blossom within the school walls.

"This achievement for Kings' School Dubai has been a successful effort from students of which we are all immensely proud," says Bede Higgins, Kings Dubai Principal. "This shows a great deal of collaboration and teamwork for such a huge project as this, everyone had to work together to pull it off."

The record-breaking attempt transcended the creation of a giant flag. It became a symbol of unity, a celebration of the UAE's spirit of togetherness. It was a fitting tribute to the nation's 51st National Day, a day that cherishes the country's remarkable journey and its bright future.

This record-breaking feat also marked a significant moment for the UAE. With a recent surge in Guinness World Record attempts within the region, Kings' School Dubai and BoxFetti's collaboration highlighted the UAE's unwavering commitment to celebrating accomplishments and fostering a culture of innovation.

But beyond the statistics and the record books, this project was about so much more. It was about the joy of creation, the thrill of collaboration, and the lasting memories forged between students, teachers, and the BoxFetti team. It was a moment where the children came together, post-pandemic restrictions, to share experiences, unleash their creativity, and leave their mark on history.

It was also no mean feat to iron all those beads into place and a testament to the perseverance, patience and incredible ambition to finally finish it! It now sits in a huge purpose built display case for all to see and reflect on this world record breaking achievement! 

The entire school community, now officially recognized Guinness World Record holders, will forever cherish this momentous occasion.

This incredible collaboration between Kings' School Dubai and BoxFetti is a shining example of the power of community spirit and teamwork. It's a story that inspires us to dream big, embrace collaboration, and celebrate the magic that unfolds when we come together.

We at BoxFetti are inspired by this record-breaking achievement, and we look forward to partnering on more collaborative ventures that spark imagination and celebrate the UAE's vibrant spirit in the future!
