Sam's Toybox Homepage

An interesting and fun toy from the 60's, the Give-A-Show Projector by Kenner was always a joy to play with an cold, dark nights. We used to even play with ours during the daytime by crawling under a blanket and projecting onto the side of a cardboard box. For your enjoyment, here are the three Give-A-Show boxed sets I own including one from Chad Valley in England. There is a way cool Chad Valley Give-A-Show website online.
