Thanks Meg, I enjoyed doing that project and yorkie had the idea of including those videos, but PowerPoint leaves much to be desired as it was made for Business Presentations and they are clueless as to how it really would be used by the regular folk.
Videos can be captured locally locally but they cannot be embedded unless you jump though hoops and by that time it would have been the day after the birthday.
Anyway, here is one I put on Youtube a long time ago with gifs and a video incorporated into a real TV of a still picture all done with PowerPoint. It has music so turn on your audio.

Clever..You tube doesn’t show up as pretty and sharp as regular PowerPoint though.
