2 bottles of clear elmers glue
1-2 cups of liquid starch

Remove the guts from your pumpkin and put in a large glass bowl
Dump both bottles of clue and 1 cup of starch into the bowl and mix everything for about 15 minutes. If it sticks to your hands add more liquid starch and repeat the process until it no longer sticks to your hands.
Have fun and play!
