  Largest finger painting-world record set by NICMA

 Belfast Zoo, Belfast, UK -- 6000 children (and a few adults) decorated a giant 22,496.5sq ft (2,090 sq metres) canvas with a central image of a house-setting the world record for the Largest finger painting.

  The world record attempt for the Largest finger painting was organised by the Northern Ireland Child Minding Association - as part of 25th anniversary celebrations. Depicting a house, NICMA hope it will symbolise the home-based care offered by childminders.

   "We wanted to do something a bit different to celebrate our anniversary," said NICMA's Director, Bridget Nodder. "And we've been overwhelmed with the interest we've already had from children, childminders and the public.

  The world record attempt for the Largest finger painting was launched by Lord Mayor of Belfast Councillor Naomi Long. "This wonderful and ambitious event will provide a great opportunity for children to get involved in a creative project which is tremendous fun," she said.

  
 Bridget Nodder, of NICMA said: "This world record attempt for the Largest finger painting has taken months of planning and organisation, and involved an immense amount of hard work by staff, volunteers, childminders and children.
   "Although we were reasonably confident that we could succeed, it's still hard to take in the fact that our canvas actually is bigger than the current record."

   The previous Guinness world record for the Largest finger painting was a a paltry 2,000 square metre painting made in Austria in 2007.

  More than 4,000 children have already contributed to the artwork, used 1,000 litres of paint and painted on 3,500 metres of canvas during the advance painting which has taken place for this event.
