Dr. Alien Eyes’s precise abilities as a doctor are hard to pin down. While his bedside manner is legendary, the sound of eight eyes blinking is unsettling, even to the bravest soul. His outer-space origin is likely to be true, since he comes to work in a giant flying saucer. His antenna often hums loudly, mostly disco, making him a hit at parties, and distracting from the gross multi-blinking sound. Dr. A is fun and simple, noteworthy mostly because he has many more eyes than anyone else. His original build—a brown sock with yellow eyes—got lost; this re-build demonstrates that the essence of most of these designs isn’t dependent on materials.

Once the sock is reversed, add the oval of black sticky felt for the mouth interior, cut slightly smaller than the cardboard oval, and put a medium amount of head fluff in the top for structure.
EYES: Using orange craft foam, cut out eight mismatched circles, about ¼ in (6mm) each across. Using the black marker, give each circle a dot in the middle for a pupil. Glue the eyes in two uneven rows with very little room between them.
ANTENNA: Using pink craft foam, cut out the antenna shape from a 2½ x ¾ in (6 x 2 cm) rectangle. Glue it standing up and facing out in the center of his head, about 1 in (2.5 cm) back from the eyes.
