I used to work at a Day Care center and on rainy days we would make oobleck. A simple mixture of corn starch and water, you can even add food coloring to spruce it up if you want. The kids had a blast with it. Just add enough water to make the corn starch kind off syrupy and let the kids play. Tell them to squeeze it and see what happens. Mix it up in a big bowl and have them hit it and see what happens. It can get a little messy, but its fun. If you haven't tried this, give it a try and see what I'm talking about.
