Our amigos love making moco/slime and plastilina/playdough. But have you heard of OOBLECK!?
"Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid; it has properties of both liquids and solids". So, it's not as sticky as slime, and more liquid than playdough. 

Here is an oobleck recipe from LiveScience:
Oobleck ingredients

• 1 part water
• 1.5 to 2 parts cornstarch
• Small amount of food coloring (optional)

Mix ingredients

• Start with the water in a bowl (or wading pool!) and add the cornstarch a bit at a time.
• Keep stirring until it has a gooey consistency. You may want to use your hands.
• When the oobleck is just right, slowly add food coloring, if you want. This can be a challenge to get it mixed properly.
• Play with it.

Things to do with oobleck

• Grab a handful and squeeze it. Let it ooze through your fingers.
• Make a puddle and quickly drag your fingers through it.
• Put it into a plastic container and shake it or quickly bump it against a table.
• Jab at the oobleck and then slowly let your finger sink in.
• Roll some oobleck into a ball. It becomes solid, but when you stop moving it, it will melt back into your hand.
