Googly eyes

The combination of a black circle over a white disk mimics the appearance of the sclera and pupil of the eye to humorous effect.

Googly eyes are used for a variety of arts and crafts projects including pipe cleaner animals, sock puppets, pranks, and other creations.

[6] Beginning in the 2000s, a trend called "eyebombing" emerged of sticking googly eyes to objects in the urban environment.

[8] It was then developed by two unnamed Danish artists, and a group called the Googly Eyes Foundation emerged to spread the phenomenon.

[9][10] The Guinness World Records recognises a pair of googly eyes measuring 12 feet (3.7 m) in diameter made in 2019 as the largest ever.
