        I usually order safety eyes online from Etsy. JoAnn’s stores sell some safety eyes, as well, but not every size. You may not be able to find the exact size circular plastic canvas, so I usually cut circles out of the rectangular sheets of plastic canvas that is sold in craft stores like JoAnn’s and Michael’s.

        Thanks! I wanted him to look like he just plopped down, sitting like a child.

        Thank you! I designed in those cheeks, so they'd look like my kids' cheeks looked as little children.
