I'm considering a task for this year's party that involves selecting a correct eyeball from a jar full of eyeballs. Since people will be handling the eyeballs, they should look and feel realistic. Or at least be disgustingly squishy.

anyone have ideas on how to accomplish this?

peeled grapes, works pretty good, even better if it's dark,lol

Peeled Lychee fruit would work too. The canned version is probably easier to find in grocery stores. They would definitely be squishy.

Grapes and lychee do have the right texture, but look like fruit. People will be inspecting these, so they need to look like eyes.
Maybe I could make a little slit in a lychee and insert a paper iris.

Here's a link to a YouTube video with directions to make eyeballs using round ice cube trays, Jello, icing, and vanilla pudding.

Maybe try pitted lychees stuffed with a dark bing cherry. The juice will run into the lychee and look like veins.

Those are great, thanks!

I did this using canned lychees and blueberries. The kids refused to eat them. LOL But they do feel and look like eyeballs.
