look in the internet got to ebay.com or amazon.com
Aside from the obvious crafts shops, you can try dollar stores and even Walmart might carry them. They might not be the greatest selection though. Good luck!
Hobby Lobby or Michaels is usually where I look for this sort of thing, you can also check out JoAnn if you have one of those in your area! Each of these places have a website.....but, Other than that I would google it (wiggle eyes)...there's unlimited possibilities on the internet!
probably most craft stores carry them and I say this as I do not know where your live. But I did check out JoAnn and in their Craft supplies under misc, embellishments they have toy eyes of different styles for $2.99. You can order on line if you live in the states. If your out of the states just check out the craft stores in your area.
Go to Roberts craft store or Michaels Craft store. If you can't find it they can help you or sometimes they can order them. Try to find a build a bear workshop and ask them.
Anywhere they sell buttons, will have dfferent size eye buttons.
For eyes in particular, check out this page at my site for lots of links: http://glassattic.com/polymer/supplysources.htm (...click on "Sculpture: EYES, Hair, etc."...) HTH, Diane B.
Michael's craft shops sell them. The Muse
I just bought some this week on ebay...search under "Wiggle eyes" but you need to know what size you need. Also, JoAnns.com might have some available. Wal-Mart also used to carry them but I don't know if they still do.
e-bay is just brilliant or you could try QVC craft, hobby carft will also let you buy over the net. Just type in Googly eyes to buy in your google search, there'll be 100's of sites. E-bay is brill for allsorts of craft stuffs but beware once you start you can't stop........ 8+}
For some strange reason, chain garden centres always seem to sell teddy eyes, noses and little craft kits. I've gotten quite a few toy kits from them!

a good alternative is buttons, brown or black, but if you must have the moveable ones any good craft shop should have them
