    What materials can I use for a spyrofoam puppet's pupils?

    What materials can I use for a spyrofoam puppet's pupils?

    I've got myself a nearly finished fullbody costume, but I am having trouble with the eyes... The round eyeballs are made of spyrofoam, and I want to attach black pupils so they act like Cookie's pupils; bouncing everywhere.
