Looking for a material that is slightly moist and malleable but will harden into an effective patch job on a few holes in my drywall. If you know of any websites or places that sell this material please note that in the answer as well. Thanks in advance.

The best, quickest, and hardest material you can use is Plaster Of Paris. Mix it to a thick, clay-like consistancy, putty-knife it on, smooth it with a wet putty knife, and it’s done. After it dries, you can sand it. It hardens in just a few minutes, so work fast.
You can get it from any good hardware store.
Have fun.

Yes, it’s called drywall compound. The malleable “playdough” like compounds used for body filler on cars and the like, don’t adhere well to drywall, tend to slump and are a pain to sand. Why not just use what is designed to be used to patch the wall? If the holes are too large for a simple spackle jobs there are kits with fiberglass reinforcement patch tape that will bridge the gaps.
Why not just use spackle / polyfilla.
