I found this recipe in a leaflet at my local children and family centre. It appeals to me as it's sustainable, compostable, and can be made from simple household ingredients. There was some of it ready-made when I was there last, and glitter had been added to it for the festive season. It looked really nice.

Fortunately, home-compostable glitter is now a thing, too!
