Thanks for all the suggestions I will be using something from everyone who replayed.
I did look at all the video of Alan Kay that people pointed me to. So now I have this idea of creating my slides within Squeak! so that within the slide itself I can demo eToys one by one. Also then people can download the image and actually play with the morphs demoed.
So..... what image should I uses as the base? What image has the most/best eToys Morphs? (along with all the OLPC projects)

I use the vanilla image for my presentations. So, either:
http://etoys.laptop.org/src/etoys-image-and-pr.zip
or
http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/etoys-dev-3.0.zip
and update the image from the World menu available Alt-, -> 'help...' -> 'update code from server', and save it. The former comes with some example projects, it would be more convenient.
For making many projects and do some "tricks", I tend to prefer to turn off eToyFriendly mode preference. So I usually use the fully updated dev image. Just load some examples and make. To give a uniform looking projects, I have a stupid do it written in a Text object (whose font size and color are set up for the presentation, too) and stick it to the Object flap. When I create a new Project in the image, I drag the Text out along with other "template" type stuff, and evaluate the do it in the text. Then I just type a few words in to the text to make (err) bullet points.
