The present invention is a toy for amusement. The toy has a panel having one or more spherical toy balls, commonly known as "floating eyeballs," Jet Balls� or Glide Balls�, affixed to the panel in a bulging manner. The panel may have graphic depictions including human, insect, animal, or creature-like facial features on both its front and back surfaces. Alternately, one or both sides of the panel can be an interactive surface, whereby the user creates his own artwork around the eyes. The panel can be hingedly connected to a base container to create a toy box, or a lunch box, or a lunch bag, or backpack such that when the panel is turned over or opened, a new panel bearing different features or the interactive surface appears. The panel and spherical toy ball(s) together make an entertaining three-dimensional representation that can be controlled by the user to create a visual effect in which the spherical toy ball(s) move about in a manner similar to human-like eye movement. Some box embodiments show creature contours coordinated with the "wiggly" eyeballs to create shapes such as an alligator.
