Smurfette mentioned painting ideas on the art post so I thought I'd start one about indoor craft and art ideas. We're headed towards cooler/indoor weather so it's a great time to think about indoor activities.

This is an idea I picked up from our local kids museum. Tape a plastic tarp to the bottom of a sliding glass door or french doors (if you have them) and spread it out so your child is standing on it. Give you child a table with water cups, paint brushes and a bowl or cup of foam shapes/letters/creatures/whatever. Have them "paint" the door and then stick the foam items to the door. It's art that is easy to set-up and clean-up.

The kids museum did this using an art easel like this one - http://bit.ly/1nM6xO0
