Cloud Dough (the stuff at hands on museums) 8 cups flour & 1 cup baby oil. It feels like flour as you run your fingers through it, but it's moldable. A wonderful sensory activity for children.

I found these linking pieces at JoAnn Fabrics. The kids love to hook them together at the fine motor station and make necklaces and bracelets.
