I have always felt you cannot have enough Googly Eyes in stock.
Below are some projects which use them.
Adult supervision may be required for some of the projects.
Clock
Creature
Materials: Alarm clock, corrugated cardboard,
Marker or pen, Ruler, Scissors, 1/4
yard faux fur, Tacky glue, 2 adhesive-backed Velcro dots, Masking tape and Giant googly eyes
Directions:
Trace the face of the clock onto a piece of cardboard.
Draw a head around the clock outline, then draw a pair of
feet. Sketch the clock window on the head, using a ruler to approximate its
size and placement, and cut it out. Cut out the head and the feet.
Trace the head and feet onto the back of the fur and cut out
the shapes. Glue the fur pieces to the matching cardboard pieces.
Attach one side of each
Velcro dot to the clock face and the other to the back of the head, lining them
up. The Velcro will let you remove the head to access buttons
or dials. Tape the feet to the head, leaving a N-inch gap to
allow for folding. Finally, glue on the googly eyes and stick the head in
place.
Craft
Stick Critters
Materials: 2 wooden craft sticks, Craft
paints and a paintbrush, Glue dots, 1/2-inch and mini sizes, Craft feathers and
2 small googly eyes
Directions:
Have your child paint the craft sticks, using a different
color for each one. (Tip: You can hold each stick by the very top and leave
that portion unpainted since it will be covered later.) Set the sticks aside
until the paint is dry.
Use a 1/2-inch glue dot to stick the tops of the sticks
together.
Fun Felt
Pens
Materials: Ballpoint pen, Felt, Scissors, Glue,
and Googly eyes
Directions:
Cut a strip of felt.
Run a thin bead of hot glue along one edge, roll up the pen in
the felt, and glue the other edge.
Once that's dry, glue on googly eyes and felt details, such as
wings and ears.
Unforgettable
Elephant
Materials: Elephant template, 2 sheets of
craft foam, 1 white, 1 colored, Pencil, scissors, and hole punch, Googly
eyes, Tacky glue, Plastic dropper (available at craft and drugstores)
Directions:
Trace the elephant head template on to the colored craft foam
and the tusks on to the white. Cut them out.
Punch a hole in the tusks as shown. Punch a hole in the
colored foam as well, at least 1/4 inch up from the elephant's chin.
Glue on the eyes.
Place the tusks behind the head so that the holes match up.
Push the dropper through both.
