How to Use the Digital Frame to Celebrate His 4th Birthday

Few things capture moments in a person's life as well as photos, which makes them fitting display objects for birthday parties. If you find it difficult to select just a few images to put on display at the party, build a digital slide show for a digital picture frame. The presentation is especially touching when you produce it for a child, whose whole life you likely have documented in digital images. The wealth of digital imagery will allow you to create a show that spans the guest-of-honor's whole life.

Things You'll Need

• Digital picture frame
• Digital image files
• Computer or digital camera
• USB cable or memory card, if needed

Instructions

1. Select images to put in the slide show. Include photos from past birthdays. For a themed party, choose images of the boy doing things that relate to the party theme. For example, if he is having a dinosaur party, include pictures of museum trips to see dinosaur skeletons.

2. Organize the photos in chronological order. Progressing from birth to the present day will heighten the impact of the presentation.

3. Save the ordered images in a file on the memory component the frame uses. If the frame displays images from a memory card, save the photo file to the card. If it has built-in memory, save the photo file from the computer to the frame.

4. Place the frame in a prominent position in the room so that everyone can view the photos throughout the party.

5. Take new photos during the party. Update the image file for the frame with the recent photos. The process should only take a few minutes and will delight guests.
