1.) Shaving Foam
It doesn't get much easier than this. Squirt a can or two of shaving foam into a large container (we used a paddling pool, but a large storage tub would do) and let the kids go to town on it. You can add drops of food colouring to swirl about, or spades, spoons and containers to play with. Best done outdoors.
2.) Super Silk
Mix a few cups of cornflour with a few cups of water (add the water slowly). Vary the amounts until you get a consistency like thick custard, then add some food colouring. This stuff is totally weird; if you let it sit in a container it is a solid, but when you try to pick it up it trickles through your fingers like a liquid.
3.) Water Play
Kids always seem drawn to water. You don't need a fancy water-play table; any large container will do the job. Provide a variety of other household items such as sieves, spoons, buckets, bowls, cups, ladles and pots. You can also try dying the water different colours or adding glitter to it for another dimension.
I hope these ideas help you out.
