New Hobbies to Try in Quarantine

New Hobbies to Try in Quarantine:

Finding things to do in the house during quarantine can be hard. If you're looking for something to keep you busy and interested at the same time, here is a list of new hobbies to try:

1. Skateboarding

Trying skateboarding is a great idea! You can be outside and learn some new things along the way. For beginners, it might be best to stay closer to home or use a longboard.

2. Painting

Being artistic right now is beneficial to both express yourself and learn more about the talents you have. Paint a sunset, draw a portrait of someone famous or, colour in an adult colouring book!

3. Baking

Recently I have been loving this hobby. It's fun to experiment, make something delicious, and then see what your family thinks. For beginners, try making cookies, cakes, tarts, loaves, and feel free to customize recipes! Try this double chocolate zucchini bread recipe, uploaded yesterday.

4. Learn an Instrument

Learning an instrument takes up a ton of your time. It might start off difficult but eventually, you'll be able to play a little bit and learn some songs. Recently, I've been thinking about playing the guitar again for something new to try.

5. Reading

Reading is one of my favourite activities to calm down and escape from reality. You can even ask a friend to read the same book to discuss your love of the characters. I just started the Selection series by Kiera Cass.

6. Try a New Sport

Trying a sport is a venture that will surely get you into shape. You get to be outside, learn something new, and you can even challenge your family to join you. Although it's not new to me, I've been spending time at the baseball diamond recently with my sister and dad. Try it out!
