There are wallets doing that already.
Like this one

You move your mouse until you make the necessary entropy. You can use your keyboard as well with your mouse movements. After that, your private key is generated.

However, I read somewhere that humans are not good sources of entropy.... so maybe that is not a good idea. We problably keep moving the mouse in some crazy pattern.
