They liked having the other children ask questions about the pictures and sharing their own thoughts and memories of their pictures. A chart goes home with the child 2 weeks before the week of their birthday. Parent and child fill in the chart with drawings, pictures, etc. of favorite foods, books, toys, etc. Also things that they don't like.
