Is There Anything More Fun Than Googly Eyes?

Just try not smiling when you look at craft projects with the googly or wiggly eyes. 

FYI: The phrase googly eyes comes from German—Guck Augen means ogling eyes or eyeballs.

If you are buying googly eyes for craft projects, consider getting a set that includes a wide variety of sizes.

We surveyed our parent readers to find their favorite googly eye sets. Then we tried out some of them for ourselves. (There may have been some pranks involving condiment bottles in a refrigerator).

Here are the googly eyes we’d recommend!
