I just fell in love with these DIY eyeballs when I first saw them and had to make a set of my own to add to our play dough collection of activities to explore…
To make the eyeballs, I hot glued googly eyes on socket covers then set the eyeballs out with play dough and pipe cleaners so the children could make spiders…
The children used the DIY eyeballs like you would Mr. Potato Head toys…
The children used the pieces to stick into their playdough balls…
We had all kinds of amazing spiders being created with the DIY eyeballs and spider legs…
Super simple to put together and lots of opportunity for creative and imaginative playdough play…

That is such a cute idea!! Do you let them take it home or is it just an activity at prek and you take it apart later?!
I love following you!
We just use the DIY eyeballs in the classroom for play and after they play, we put everything away for another day. They don’t take the spiders home:)
Hi Amanda,
After the children play with the eyes and the playdough, we take everything apart and put it back into our playdough drawers for another day. They don’t take the spiders home:)
oh! we’ve gotta do this. i’ve got a huge bag of these things!
So clever! 🙂
These are way too cute – my girls would love them!!
This is brilliant! What an excellent use for old socket covers! Pinned it to my preschool learning board 🙂
Thanks for the pin Maryanne:)
What a great idea! I have a ton of these and just threw away a few- well, not anymore! My kids would love this!
I just got a safety can opener from Target so I can start collecting tin can pieces for your “Robots” idea- can’t wait to get started on that too!
You are going to be super busy! I love the robots – be sure to use good magnets for them!
Love the eye idea. Thanks for sharing.
