Today I accidentally came across a way to make and clay like substance that I've never heard of before but the consistency is amazing. I am a huge fan of the old fort Boyard mud challenges and this reminds me just of that, I would love to see it put to use. All I did was mix talcum/baby powder and mixed it with water. As a ratio you really don't need much water at all because the powder is so fine but wow I would love to get my wife in a pool of that stuff for a wrestle. Maybe I'll be so lucky one day. Has anybody else ever heard of this? If you have any spare in the house it would be interesting if anybody could test a little bit in the sink and see what you think. Post your results too please .
You can pick a 500g for around £1 - £1.50 here. I would say 20 of them would make plenty of mess which would cost £20 - £30. Small price to pay for a great substance in my book.

Most baby powder consists of talc and/or corn starch. Talc is a clay mineral, so it's not surprising that you get a clay mud-type substance when you mix it with water.
Baby powder is more readily available than bentonite clay powder I suppose, unless you live near a pottery supply store or art store. Make sure to take the same care when mixing to not breathe in the ultra-fine powder. Not good for your lungs - same with clay.

Be careful about straight talcum powder or baby powder with talc in it, as talc has been known to cause ovarian cancer, lung cancer and mesothelioma because it often contains asbestos
Love you, too
