Shila said:  Use washable kids paint to decorate indoor windows or glass doors. This fun and easy craft idea mimics the translucent look of stained glass. Lightly dab the paint and use Q-tips to swirl the colors around in order to still let in sunlight. For a paint-free option, tape up a collage using small cuts of multi-colored tissue paper. Use painter's tape so it's easily removable.
