They are called Peepers (little known fact - they were invented by puppeteer Hobey Ford). There is a chance that Puppets For Goodness Sake in Stoney Creek might have some, otherwise check out http://www.peeperspuppet.com.

OHHHHHHHHHH, ok yeah you need to google doll eye, maybe even check with a Taxidermy place to make the one just like Oobies. When I went to the muppet audition they had 2 Pin pong balls attached together with some elastic, and they looked really nice.

The peepers that Buck Mention are cool I use to keep them in my pocket if I ever came need a puppet on the fly. the only draw back (to me) is that they pinched so tight that they hurt my hand. I'm not a wimp, they were just anoying!

Does anyone know how the ping pong ball/rubber band eyes where constructed? I need 15 for a puppet performance class I'm running in March.

I cut some slots into the ping pong and threaded two ping pongs on a lenght of streachy elastic and sew the two ends together. Place the pupils on the ping pongs and there you go!!
