About once a year around here we make oobleck. Why once a year? Because it is insanely messy. It takes me about a year to forget how much work it is to clean everything up when the kids are done playing with it. They absolutely love it, and would probably play with it every day if I let them. Maybe it's something we need to play with outside in the summer.
If you have never made oobleck before, it's just equal amounts of cornstarch and water mixed together. It's neat because it's both a solid and a liquid. It's actually a lot of fun to experiment with. Just not so much fun to clean up.
Here are the kids having fun with oobleck:
