Made this stuff with my daughter a few years ago. Very fun stuff. Great videos online about it. Apparently one of the few materials that has the properties of a solid and liquid. Actually saw a video of a guy walk across some.

Love this, we make it for the kids to play with except we always called it "ooblik," though I haven't a clue where that name came from!

Try slapping the mixture then leave your hands there. It will sink. We had this for some experiment in school, its a DIY quicksand experiment
