Making quick sand is fun and easy. If you gather these materials and follow these steps. You'll have some quicksand that looks and feels like the real stuff.

Materials-

Corn Starch- 1 cup

Maple Syrup- 1 tablespoon

Sand- half a cup

Water- 1 cup

Milk- three fourths a cup

Large Mixing Bowl

Spoon

Food Coloring- optional- about three to four drops.

Steps-

1. Add Corn Starch, Maple Syrup, Sand, and Milk in a large mixing bowl and stir with spoon. Once mixed thinly add the water and mix for about 2 minutes. Then, add food coloring if you wish. Last, place in refrigerator for about 1 hour or until gelled. When it's done enjoy some fun and easy quicksand.

Another way to make quick sand is to place 1cup of corn flour in a mixing cup with half a cup of water and mix really quickly and swiftly until it is harder than you started and there you have it! Quick and easy quicksand.

All you need is a dirt like sand and a ton of water,Once you get the sand so soaked in water that it can't absorb anymore it creates a vaccum effect but really you can only sink how ever deep it is, really quicksand is just wet sand.

Quicksand is not the magical substance that it's often depicted as in movies. It's basically a kind of thin sandy mud.
