Everyone needs to make ooblek at some point in time. It behaves very strangely. If you play with it slowly, it behaves like a liquid and if you play with it quickly, it behaves like a solid. So you can't punch your fist into it, but you can dip your fingers into it. You can pick up a handful of it only to have it melt between your fingers.

Add water to the corn starch. You need more corn starch than water but we tweaked it a little because we weren't sure about the consistency. In the end, the water evaporates and your mixture gets thicker over time. |

It was difficult to stir. We added blue food coloring. |

We played with it on and off all afternoon and it ended up making a huge corn starchy mess in my kitchen but it was worth it. It was really weird stuff. |
