Stained Glass Windows

We have been hanging these transparent paintings in the windows the last few days.  We used Colorations Fingerpaint (because it isn't opaque) in between layers of wax paper.  I put a few splotches of paint on wax paper, fold the piece in half and then the girls push the paint around with their fingers.  It's great because it is totally non-messy.  They get the satisfaction of pushing paint around with their fingers without actually touching the paint.  Plus it is a great experiment in color mixing.  It ends up looking a lot like crayon melts without having to break out the iron.
