googly eyes

Craft supply orbs

Googly eyes are small plastic craft supplies consisting of a disc with a loose black pupil that wobbles behind a clear dome, creating a comically unfocused look when attached to objects.

The term also describes a wide-eyed, lovestruck expression: She was making googly eyes at him across the room.

To give someone googly eyes is to gaze at them with obvious infatuation.
