Camping Tent Window

I'm really bored lol... I have a tent put up because I think an indoor camping trip might be fun, some tips?

Like ideas to make it more realistic. I would use orange construction paper around a lamp or something to make a fake fire, but I don't have construction paper... Right now on my laptop, I went to paint, made pictures of flames, and put them in windows movie maker on "fade", then recorded a crackly noise and added that... It looks cheesy though. I want it as realistic as possible Then I put a few lawn chairs on a green rug in front of it to look like grass... I have a summer night sound soother that isn't working, which would really add a woodsy effect. That sucks lol. Is there maybe a website that will just play nature sounds? I am totally determined to get this really realistic as you can see Other ideas are greatly appreciated too! Please no sarcastic remarks. If you aren't gonna be nice, don't answer this I hate people like that.

If you have plain white paper or newspaper, paint them with egg yolk. They'll dry quickly and will look crinkly, like fire when you have the light behind it. If you have food coloring, add that to water and dip paper into that for your "orange" construction paper replacement. Look at your clothes, too, for yellows and reds. If you have a little portable fan, use that to drown out other sounds you might hear and place it so that the paper your use as your "fire" ripples a bit. Your sense of smell is important. Use a baking tin and dig up a several spoons of soil from your yard, the browner the better. If it's dry, add a bit of water and place the pan out of sight but nearby the fan so that it blows the aroma of the soil at you. If you can find any dried leaves of grass outside real quick, add them to the moist soil in the pan after thoroughly soaking them in some water. Chill the room you're in a bit by closing off the vent.

Here are a few short nature sounds, just for fun:
