Lauren Venell posted this silly project on her blog the other day, and it made me laugh out loud. I thought you might enjoy it, too: adding googly eyes to photos, ads, or whatever. Her conclusion is that googly eyes “are somewhat amusing/disturbing in any size.” I would agree, but I think they’re more funny than disturbing (okay, the baby photo I chose is a little disturbing!). Your kids will probably love this as a summer afternoon activity, so pick up a package of googly eyes at the dollar store next time you’re there, and pull out extra family snapshots or old magazines and get gluing. [see Lauren’s gallery of hilarious crazy eyes]
Project Estimate:
- Old photos, magazines, etc., on hand
- Googly eyes, $1
- Glue, on hand
Total: $1

I did this today with my 5-yr-old daughter, and we had a blast. We did magazine pictures for a while, then switched to adorning our friends’ photo Christmas cards. Hilarious!

In my son’s preschool class the teacher had me take pictures of each child laying on the floor with their hair spread above their heads and making surprised/scared faces. Once they were printed she glued googlie eyes on and hung them on the classroom door for the kids to find the next morning. It was FANTASTIC!!! My son (and pretty much ever other kid) pointed out his picture and fell over laughing every day for like 2 weeks!
