15 Beginner Cozy Hobbies - zero skills required to jump in!

[@alexadavidson6227]

As a kid I watched my grandpa read every night and he always annotated his books. 🥰 Drove my grandma crazy 😂 but I feel like it gave me permission to interact with my books the same way. They’re meant to experience!

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

yeah i love looking at book annotations. i just write my stuff down tho in a separate place bc i dont wanna "mess up" my book 😭 i hope one day i can overcome that bc i wanna highlight n shit, that was like the second best part of reading back in school (first best part being reading itself). my lil notes and highlights 😁

[@kkatlynismyname]

​@@sleepy.timaeus.arts.what helped me get over my fear of altering my books was just underlining with pencil and then marking with a colored tab. You can always erase the pencil!

[@NotesNNotes]

I only started doing that this year and I'm not sure why I felt like I couldn't before!

[@Kalani_Saiko]

@@kkatlynismyname That's what I do

[@mayathebraveofkitwanga448]

This is amazing❤ Books can sometimes be the best friends.

[@BrittneyVanDijk]

Something to add on puzzles- my grandpa was a “chronic puzzler” haha he was always doing puzzles but he would take his favorite ones when he was finished and mod podge it and use it as wall art. All of his kids and grandkids got to keep one when he passed and it’s such a sweet memory we all have of him 🥰

[@wintersprite]

I have a couple of American Girl puzzles that were marketed that way (minus the mod podge). They were frame puzzle kits, each with a set of three puzzles and a plastic frame. You could put the puzzle together in the frame and then hang it on the wall.

Thanks :)

[@Ollie-sp9tw]

Tysm, I was wondering if someone had done this. 😂

[@olliemon2019]

Ty this really helped!❤❤❤

[@TheLynnepooh]

Thank you. This was really helpful

[@Thatsacompliment123]

Thank you

[@leaf1885]

I’m going to forward this to every parent, who thinks there’s no alternative to placing their kid in front of a TV/tablet/phone. I love the coloring and activity books. Music/audiobook in the background plus one of these = calmly occupied and entertained for a while.

[@NotesNNotes]

I'm not in disagreement with your sentiment, but crafts require more oversight and energy than electronics, which are designed literally to paralyze you while they hijack your dopamine, lol. Parents are often overburdened, overworked, and ✨systemically unsupported ✨ - I think we should attempt to speak with the intention of being genuinely supportive when we approach topics like this.

[@leaf1885]

@@NotesNNotes I'm not disagreeing either. My comment sounds snarky (?) but it wasn't meant that way. I work in education and have had several encounters where parents genuinely had no idea what to do outside of electronics. They watched TV all day and their children did too. They simply lacked inspiration and perspective (not entirely their fault if they were raised that way as well). However, the ugly truth is that too much screen too young is harmful long term. This fact doesn't care about overworked parents and I don't think it's insensitive to state it. Every family has to make the informed decision for themselves and has to live with the consequences.

[@natalie6117]

This is exactly how I grew up. As a child my mom had us do 30 minutes of a brain-stimulating activity book, 30 minutes of reading of our choice (nonfiction or fiction), 30 minutes of reading about our faith (we are Catholic, so we read the stories of the lives of the saints), and then certain chores we had to finish each day. Summertime was so structured, I loved it! And then after that we were free to go do whatever we wanted! And thankfully it was back in the day where “whatever we wanted to do” DIDN’T equal screens!! I always chose playing outside-we’d go to the pool, or make up games with the neighborhood kids, or catch lightning bugs. I went back to school in the fall as a tanned bronze goddess and usually I’m a pale Irish girl. I really had the best childhood. I sound like I probably grew up in the 70s or 80s or something but I’m actually even younger than Kennedy! 😂

[@mobstercrow7515]

@@NotesNNotes If you don't have enough time to sit down with your child and play with them, you shouldn't have a child PERIOD! Kids take a lot of time, kids need to do crafts, go outdoors and look for bugs, make mud pies, play on a slip and slide, read books, play dress up, and do other activities. Children shouldn't be using devices at all until they are at least 10, they should have strict supervision and parental settings on their devices and they should not use them more than 30 minutes every day. They should have a flip phone in case of an emergency so they can call 911 if needed however. If you don't have the time for properly caring for a child, then don't have one.

[@NotesNNotes]

@@mobstercrow7515 literally didn't say I didn't do those things, just that parents are tired because there are a lot of obligations that life requires. I have health issues personally so I do the best I can, just like the majority of parents.

[@MsPynkPynk]

Dont forget for my budget baddies to utilize your dollar tree! I recently found a gem painting there. They have cross-stitch from time to time. And they always have coloring books for adults and kids. A lot of the crafts are simple/basic, but if you decide you like the craft you can invest in ones from Amazon, hobby lobby, etc. ❤

[@wintersprite]

I just found an amiguri crochet kit at ours that I plan to try out.

[@MsPynkPynk]

@@wintersprite lucky you ❤️

[@laurasutcliffe723]

Definitely going my local dollar tree to see if they have the gem painting kits. Those look fun to do. :)

[@MsPynkPynk]

Just found some flower "Legos " as well as 4 different felting kits. So cute. Still hoping to come across the crotchet kits

[@ajm9508]

“Slight brain movement, not brain strain” this is exactly what I look for in my hobbies. Thank you for this list! 💜

[@ElementaryDropOut]

I am 36. I was doing the Millennial thing and decluttering my t-shirt drawer. I FOUND STRAY PERLER BEADS IN THE BOTTOM OF MY DRAWER!! I found it crazy because I have moved to 5 different houses with my bedroom suite. Don't mind me if I imagine those perler beads were a gift from a nostalgia fairy.....

[@kelseytrue9884]

I totally forgot about the paper dolls!!!!!! And it made me remember the wooden ones where you put the different fabrics underneath them to make clothes! Me and my sisters loved them!

[@calmo14]

those were my favorite!!!!

[@morgancrosby4190]

Collecting can also be free in nature like leaves and rocks and shells 😊♥️

[@CozyK]

Ahhhh so true!!!

[@wintersprite]

Bonus if you call your rocks “Pet Rocks”. My mom actually has an official one from the 1970s/‘80s. With shells and small rocks, you could use them for various crafts. Smooth rocks could be painted on. Or they could be kept as is too (or a combo).

[@LadyOzma]

This is how I got my hog skull!!

[@plushieangela]

For the low budget cuties, shell collecting and thrifting in the collection category. You can also paint shells into little ring dishes or make cute little pendants for jewellery

[@ejmathilda487]

I love how passionate and positive and happy you are when talking about these hobbies! Really makes me wanna get back into hobbies like these:) thank you!!!

[@megan2176]

I love the idea of revisiting childhood hobbies, but also what you said about experiencing things/hobbies we feel we missed out on! Lego, or whatever! Heal that jealous inner child, and do the things we saw other kids doing that we couldn't, for whatever reason! That's really inspiring and exciting! Makes me want to hit the toy store and buy things i wasn't allowed to as a kid!!😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@shimmerngspirit]

This is a great list. There is something for everyone. More importantly it reminds us to take time for the things we enjoy. Doing something you look forward to daily really does make life more fun to live.

[@Tablesidemocha]

"Tangible proof of rest"...This really hit me. Such a beautiful way to look at it.

[@veronicasmemories]

That's cool that you mentioned online communities. I'd always been a silent viewer until this year I decided I was going to start commenting more on almost every video! It gives the same feeling as annotating because it makes me think about what I've watched and how I want to engage with the content I consume. It always gives me perspective on if I'm watching something because I want to or because it was fed to me by an algorithm

[@CozyK]

i love that!! that’s such a good point

[@0hhhello]

I definitely agree with the content creating as a hobby. I started building keyboards in 2021 and really have connected with the keyboard enthusiast community. I don’t always record the building process, but sharing the builds and typing tests and cute keycap sets and artisans and helping people as they get into the hobby too is so fun! That and letting people see someone who looks like them, as a black woman, in such a largely male hobby is a different kind of fulfilling 🥰

[@EvelynAlice7]

The thing I love with colouring is that it’s really versatile it can be as easy or complex as you want to make it! It’s the best! 🥰😍

[@CozyK]

so truee!!

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

This is what I'm aiming for, learning about techniques to improve.

[@DaniSInNC]

I agree. I stick to the color-by-number books because even picking colors can stress me out. Luckily, I really enjoy the mosaic look that a lot of the color-by-number books have.

[@souko7460]

One of my latest hobbies is making my own stickers!! Just paper, supplies for drawing & coloring (coloring pencils for me!), scissors and paper glue -- and I made my own custom stickers to glue anywhere! I've always loved stickers, I used to collect them as a child and show off rare/flashy/expensive ones to my friends, but now I feel like I own real exclusive designs :') of course, with these materials, it's not the same quality as bought stickers with their plastic and such -- but they hold up really well! Once I stick 'em, I rarely need to fix them. In the rare cases where the glue starts wearing off on one part of the sticker, I just use something small and thin akin to a toothpick to apply a bit of glue to that place again. Though, because paper easily folds and softens when lots of supstance is applied to it, be careful not to put too much glue on or under it -- I had learn this firsthand lol. Another hobby I'm about to experiment with is paper crafts -- specifically making sculptures by folding paper, perhaps better known as origami! Though the idea of cutting, coloring and gluing paper pieces together like you suggested sounds just as fun!! Drawing and coloring, however, are hobbies that saved my mental health. I draw or color any time I feel anxious or depressed. The concentration and focus from this task relaxes and heals me. Any of the hobbies that creates focus and concentration do help -- it doesn't have to be difficult, as long as it keeps your attention. I feel so rested after I finish, it's like I meditated! I'll definitely look into beading though, I'd love to make custom keychains and such 👀

[@Snoopy.lover06]

I love making bracelets, it was always a hobby that me and my mom worked on when I was younger

[@1oyantai]

Yay! So excited to start a new hobby! I’m a serial hobby starter lol I may not finish but I’ll always start 💪🏾😁

[@CozyK]

right there with ya!🤎

[@pnuthead13]

I do most of the hobbies you listed but I’d love to add one to consider. Nail polish! It doesn’t really take anything much to start and anyone can do it. Like any hobby though, there are a few things that boost success. Maybe a little spill safe fold table, good light, base polish and quick dry glossy topcoat polish, cotton balls and a good remover. You could stop at that set up but the world of polish is vast. It’s also satisfying and addictive to get into indie brands, collecting sets, adjacent skills like polish stamping, or nail art, plus branching from lacquer into gels. The community is great and the time for rewarding self care is built in!

[@dj_scientist694]

You just opened my mind to a whole new world of off-brand Legos. I've been struggling to keep a hobby (im an artist but i haven't had any time or energy to paint or draw) but i always found the idea of building Lego sets to be very appealing, but the prices were INSANE. I just went onto Amazon and looked at other brands of building bricks that i had no idea even existed. I look forward to starting a new hobby with these "Lego" sets. Thank you so much for this wonderful video!

[@Hollyalice01]

As a UK watcher i was curious about "pearler beads" ...the nostalgia i felt when i realised!! We call them "hammer beads" i used to do them daily i forgot they existed 😂💓

[@TaylorHubbard11195]

Other fun and easy yarn hobbies are punch needling, looming, and latch hooking! My mom used to do latch hooking in the 80's and I was telling her about all the new yarn hobbies I was learning like punch needling, looming, crochet, and knitting, and she said to try it out. I found a super cheap kit on Amazon and it is so simple and so difficult to mess up.

[@wintersprite]

I recently bought supplies to make a latch hook rug for my American Girl Addy doll. It’s one of the crafts in her Craft book.

[@peekaboo7424]

I love latch hooking but I’m always stumped about what to do with them when I’m done. What do you do with yours?

[@jeimmyflores6423]

for me the most activity cozy are draw my tablet, complete puzzlez, watching my fav streaming show , play video games.

[@BluegrassBlogger]

I remember my mom buying me paper dolls at the grocery store as a kid. I loved them! I had a lot of Disney princess paper dolls.

[@juppalslove3099]

I would like to thank you for putting english subtitles. As a non native speaker who has a hard time understanding spoken english especially when it comes to hard words or an accent that might not be easy to recognise for every single word , its something I truly appreciate. I'm happy that I can finally understand everything because of that and not get bored. Your ideas are nice btw!

[@angiemac4662]

You're the reason I picked coloring books up and now I have a literal drawer just dedicated to my favorite books and coloring tools lol. Thank you always!

[@nilawarriorprincess]

It's always the videos I watch for 'background noise' that I find valuable. I'm a Xennial, but I also relate to content creation as a hobby. Boomers & whatever gen my grandmother belongs to always ,'say no one cares about your thoughts or opinions', so I found your take refreshing. I do the book thing with my Kindle books as you can color code highlights. So much of what you saus relatable, but this comment is already too long.

[@pandaluvr222]

One hobby that I’ve been wanting to get back into is junk scrapbooking :) collecting receipts, tags, stickers etc to make journal spreads that reflect memories!

[@debbiekendrick2663]

One of my favorite hobbies, is journaling and decorating your journal. So much fun and doesnt have to cost much

[@louisas.2232]

What a perfect timing for this video! I just had a back surgery and I'm tired of playing Sims and watching shows, and I need something to do where I can just lay down. So this activity book is perfect, I would have never thought of this. Thank you for the ideas!! :)

[@jadaw644]

I've taken up coloring books after being inspired by you. I realized I prefer coloring my own drawings rather than finding books that fit my exact aesthetic, but I'm not always in the mood for drawing. 😅

[@NaynaSL]

Its weird but to prove the point of "your grandma can pick up animal crossing and get into it" I've had a lot of events that got me thinking about the... end of life. And I saw at least 4 people just sobbing and recommending 10/10 spiritfarer, found it on sale on steam. And got it. And omg this game IS for me and I would have NEVERRRR thought myself of a gamer😅 so you truly never really know what you will pick up and love❤❤❤

[@stuartgriffin1001]

When you talked about puzzles, I immediately thought of Legos. I was going to comment that they are a good hobby. I was really happy when you talked about them after puzzles. When I build them, I spread out the cost by taking 2 or 3 days to complete each bag

[@rainebee]

the way u were like “its done! its done! its so easy!” was giving perler bead infomercial LMAO i love it

[@abbeysolute]

Love these ideas and all your videos! They made me realize that I needed to spend more time living in the present, so I bought coloring books and supplies and I've been really enjoying it so far. Thank you so much!

[@pnuthead13]

My grandson is almost six and the other day he was just dreaming aloud about how much he would love a Gudetama phone app game. Not sure if there is one available. But he was just imagining different levels, and storyline, and boss battles and objectives. And it was actually so satisfying and captivating to listen to him. Maybe I should count grandparenting as one of my hobbies! 😂

[@CozyK]

Grandparenting is definitely a hobby😂🤎

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Currently recovering from my hysterectomy, so perfect timing ❤

[@CozyK]

sending love and healing!🫶🏽

[@charmingkara]

Okay I feel like a total hobby hoarder cause I think I tried all of these that you mentioned in the video 😂 my favorites are definitely coloring books and Lego. I collect modular buildings, I also have this huge Rivendell set that you showed and let me tell you it’s one of the best sets I’ve ever build ❤ pricey but took me almost two months to to build so kinda worth it 😂😂 and the building techniques they used in this set are soooo cool😍

[@Bobskater1000]

I make perler beads all the time and make them into Kandi necklaces!! I wear them to raves all the time!! Such a fun hobby

[@AceEcho1449]

Another good way to read is to read aloud to other people. It’s a great way to do something with the people you love and it makes you think more about how the characters you’re reading about would speak and why. :)

[@onlybonjour]

I recently treated myself and got some toys for my collection lol I love collecting all things cute and nostalgic and some toys that I wasn’t able to have as a kid cause my parents couldn’t afford it,I now have bought for myself.😊my older sis bought me a calico critter as a gift and I’m glad I can now say I have them apart of my collection. Picking up hobbies is something I’m glad I’m trying to get into and doing things that interest me or buying things when I can that bring me joy actually makes me happy 😊

[@cominghome7632]

This is so fun to watch. I’ve always been into a million hobbies as a kid but growing up just kinda stopped. This year I have started knitting and sewing and got obsessed with it. However, in my life everyone I know doesn’t have the time/take the time to have hobbies 🙁. Glad to know I’m not the only one that needs a lot of hobby time🥰

[@amarantafishygarcia]

Im so happy this video was recommended to me! My biggest hurdle to creating content is I feel the pressure of having to make daily or weekly uploads amd I get mad imposter syndrome bc I am not a youtuber 😂 I love making makeup videos and hauls. Maybe now I'll try it

[@varodragon14]

To preserve a colouring book, a great idea is to photocopy it. Or if the artist has digitable ones then its easy to print.

[@awlbiste]

I dream of that Rivendell Lego set. One day!

[@rislthewondercat]

It isn't completely no skill, but as someone who has wanted to learn crochet for 30 years, amigarumi has been an easy, fool proof gateway. You only need to know how to single crochet, and there's plenty of books out there with easy patterns to follow. And when you're done, you have a cute little plushie!

[@SimplyLoxi]

I honestly need more hobbies besides crochet, so this list is perfect for me thank you so much!

[@mitzywebtoons]

I did those perler beads as a child too, and that was during 2018!! time flies!!!

[@DaltonHBrown]

I play a lot of Minecraft, and I have spent many an hour to make my base as cozy as possible. Flower fields, animal pens, a flower greenhouse, lots of bees flying around. A fishing shack where I can just relax and catch fish or find treasures.

[@magdalena99]

Thank you very much, there were so many ideas I never considered as potential hobbies for myself. You're definitely not suggesting the mainstream hobbies everyone else is naming in their hobby videos. You do add a big value here 💖

[@haydennagy196]

pearled beads and aqua beads were my whole childhood, i would be doing those all summer long at summer camp and home! thanks for that nostalgia ☺️

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Love this video! I absolutely love coloring and turned my hobby into content creating too! I made one video over 3 years ago and I was so surprised when I got views. Now I get to do what I love and share it with others. I love all your videos, cozy hobbies and cozy gaming!

[@megmazcreates]

I have a book called The Big Book Of Search and Find. It’s so fun and reminds me of the I Spy books I had as a kid 😊

[@Yolie.]

Puzzles and legos are my fave ! 🧩💕

[@cassidyw6521]

Embroidery is definitely a learning curve😳 I've completed a few projects but I would love to try cross stitching so I don’t have to learn SO many stitches and be able to finish them faster! I think needle felting/poking is a good beginner hobby also 🙂 Thanks for the video! 💗

[@texasglendastitcher]

There's a huge cross-stitching community on youtube! If you search the term "flosstube", you'll find lots of different cross-stitch channels. I watch people in a variety of age brackets (20's and up). The types of projects also vary wildly. You can also search "WIP Parade", which is where flosstubers show all their works-in-progress --- that's a good way to see which types of projects each creator gravitates towards. I used to embroider then switched to cross-stitch because I find it less brain-intensive 😁.

[@Eevees_Aura]

Try Wobbly Life!!!! It's so cute and random! You can get a job, buy stuff and a house, you can explore the world, drive cars, fly airplanes, ride roller-coasters and so much more. I love it just as much as my kids lol

[@CozyK]

omg def checking it out! i love those types of games!!

[@emmadutton5582]

on the topic of getting back into childhood hobbies- i recommend shrinky dinks!! so nostalgic and so many cute things you can do with them (i love to make my own earrings out of shrinky dinks and hooks from michael’s) and you can even do them with certain recycled plastics!

[@Jane-fz1pb]

Your suggestions really inspire me! One hobby to add: blackout poetry. I get the books from Little Free Libraries! A question for you - What do you do with your projects when you're done (like the gem painting, construction paper art, etc.)? I don't have room to display everything. I give most as gifts, but it's still a lot!

[@CozyK]

I just keep the kind of piled up in a basket but I’d love to hear what other people do too!

[@Montana677]

watching this video made me realize I have a little collection of random items in my purse, some old coins, a lucky dollar, trading cards and stickers friends have given me ect. There's nothing really cohesive about it but I love having it.

[@laurarose520]

My husband got me stardew cross stitch patterns for my birthday and I'm so excited for my tiny little projects.

[@clinommaniac]

I love what you shared about your lego non-experience as a child because it was really the same for me! Always thought it was a "boy" game but discovering it in my adulthood felt amazing 🥰

[@abslol1]

I took a color theory class in college and it was all construction paper art and it was so much fun, my favorite assignment every week!

[@KariBerriii]

A tip for coloring - I have a coloring book that was designed by an artist I loved that has sadly passed away. I used my iPad to scan the coloring pages and I use procreate to color the pages digitally instead of in the actual book so that I can preserve the books 😊

[@carysscott7198]

I've found that I don't go and seek something to collect but I just naturally fall into and it eventually becomes a collection without me realising and I think that's the best way.

[@isabellamagnuson-lee308]

Hi Cozy K I colored in my coloring book today and all of my worries are gone and I just started doing a woobles kit and I am crocheting 🧶 Pierre the penguin 🐧 with my auntie Heather

[@000yyy]

For those who want to create content without spending too much time on social media: I recommend zine making! You can create whatever you like using scissors, crayons, glue etc and distribute to your friends, leave them in little libraries, or just collect them for yourself! There’s a big zine community and it’s a perfect way to find others who have the same niche interests as you

[@000yyy]

Also inexpensive cozy collection: bird identification list (birding)!, pen pal letters/post cards, rocks/seashells, flowers to dry/press

[@carolinehansen7714]

Love this! My current favorite cozy hobby is building miniatures. I started with a kit that took me years then I discovered the simple little Miniverse kits! Now I can squeeze in some cozy crafting in the work week.

[@cierraseghetti1195]

For the bleeding marker problem, place a few pieces of paper or even a thin cardboard under the coloring book page (: it'll help prevent bleeding onto the other pages!

[@Tyra.White55]

I LOVE COLORING!!! 🎭🎨🎭🎨

[@Marie-jz1qw]

Hi Kennedy! If you're looking for markers that don't bleed, just go for the one water-based. The ones that bleed are the alcohol-based markers :)

[@CozyK]

ahhh thank you!!

[@Marie-jz1qw]

@@CozyK You're welcome 🙂

[@wintersprite]

Also, if you have a coloring book with images printed on only one side and don’t mind bleed on the blank back, add a sheet or two of paper behind the page you’re coloring and use alcohol markers. You could even take a pen and turn that back into a “reverse coloring” page.

[@KaileyPujdak]

I'd love ideas for what to do with your crafts after you make them (especially one that you do more for fun than for the end result). Do you cycle through displays? Do you have a little box that you keep them in? Any recycling ideas? I'm always curious about what other people do with the things they make!

[@deliciouslyxrandom]

If anyone on here likes to listen to a comfort show while absolutely zeroing in on a repetitive activity like myself (in times where I need DEEP de-stressing, turn my brain off and let my hands fiddle with something) look into latch hooking and latch hook kits. I still remember the first one I got by chance as a gift when I was a teenager. Completely zoned out, enveloped and engaged while still dumping my social cache.😊

[@nicoleh3703]

It sort of falls into the colouring book category, but I highly recommend Zentangle. All you need is a piece of paper, a pencil, and a pen or marker. All of the instructions can be found online for free. I find it very relaxing and fun, plus you can decide to colour it, shade it, or just leave it as is. I've even combined it with regular colouring pages and it turns out so neat!

[@Aquari_Editz]

I loved all these ideas!! I'm deffinatly gonna use them. My two major rainy day hobbies are Photography and rubber band\Jewlery making 😊🌼💛🌻

[@brendat.5890]

Let me just save this one. I'm OLD, old, and I got a Switch lite just to play Coffee Talk. So let's see what else I can get into. ❤

[@shimmerngspirit]

Coffee Talk and Part 2 are both fabulous games! I hope you enjoy them.

[@honey_love1302]

You have heard of it for sure but maybe animal crossing is a game you would also like! 😊 it‘s the game that made me get a switch and I still play to this day 🌱

[@texasglendastitcher]

I'm OLD too ;-) and bought a Switch Lite during covid just to play Animal Crossing. I also enjoyed Unpacking, although I understand it's not for everyone (I love to unpack & organize lol). I'm downloading the Coffee Talk demo right now =).

[@cosymarissa]

my favourite hobbies are gaming, reading and drawing. I havent drawn much but I bought myself an art diary and some colour pencils and I'm keen to get back into it. Also the construction paper art looks awesome! I might have to give is a go st some point :)

[@amielmorris2549]

Bold with saying cross stitch is easy 😅 if you’re gonna do cross stitch don’t pick up anything that says “counted cross stitch” get something with the pattern printed on the fabric. I’d also recommend long stitch projects or needlepoint :)

[@bobbiewingler8613]

Junk journals are great

[@sapphireflowers]

Thank you sooo sooo much for this! This couldn't have come at a better time. I've been really longing for some fun easy hobbies over the winter. But I am neurodivergent/have a learning disability and find learning new concepts challenging especially if I try to go at a new hobby alone. This has given me several ideas and reminded me of some I already enjoy or wanted to do. I like the point you had on picking some smaller sized projects, less intimidating and keeps you from boredom!

[@Kierin-b8e]

thank you so much for this video! I have been playing so much ACNH and cozy grove that I am not doing anything else .I have been looking for more cozy hobbies that are not games.I will definitely be doing a lot of these!

[@weekendminis]

I know you like to keep it as relatively easy hobbies to get into, but have you ever considered planning out a selection of investment heavy/skill heavy hobbies, and doing a series of first steps videos for each one, maybe even collabing with other influencers from that hobby as a guide?

[@jorina2154]

Another great hobby that comes to my mind is doing figures out of Fimo or to make friendship bracelets

[@CourtneyJay8]

The paper doll book!!! Omg I had that and spent so many hours playing and making my own stuff as a kid

[@CozyK]

right!! so much nostalgia!

[@aanajuliaa]

I started building Lego kits in my early 50s through making them with my Grandson. I am into the botanical series presently. I get them as gifts. :)

[@cthulusauce]

I love collecting, I think over 19 years now, old sci fi paperbacks. You’ll be surprised how many are relatively cheap.

[@anjellalo972]

This is a gem of a video, honestly one of the best on KZbin. You're so positive and you make all these things feel okay for us adults to do :) I was avoiding them because people have made me feel strange or weird for liking these things in the past so I stopped, but you've sparked so much interest back into me with just watching the first video of yours I've seen.

When I was a kid, it was latchhook. I could do it until it came to sewing the edges.

I heard perler beads and immediately pulled some out to play with. I really enjoyed your video, thank you for helping getting my creativity flowing again!

Tip for colouring if you're using markers that bleed through the page: Put a sheet of thin card or a few bits of printer paper (just whatever you have, even cutting up a cereal box works) that way even if it goes through that page it won't get on the next image, especially helpful if you're a bit heavy handed with the ink. Otherwise coloured pencils or crayons or whatever else you have works.

You can also get clear gesso and paint the back of the page to prevent it bleeding through! If you wanted, you could also paint the front and it gives the paper more “tooth” for your colored pencils 🥰

@@LexieLouLou Oo I didn't know that! Honestly I didn't know clear gesso even existed, it seems useful. Thanks for sharing this tip!

Omg I _forgot_ about the ridiculous amount of perler bead art I did as a child! Thanks for reminding me ❤️

[@lifeisabeautifulrisk]

not me watching this while coloring the new Bobbie Goods’ Valentine Cards 😂❤️ so true about not wanting to touch them because they feel so precious 😭

Love this list. I have been looking for easy hobbies for years, and i actually have quite a few of these. I also recommend hobbies for anyone as they age. It does more for you than you think. My mom has only watched TV for years and it had a bad impact on her mental ability. I've moved in with mom now, and I'm forcing her to do easy activities 5 days a week to help her improve. Sticker by number is her favorite. Word search i have to help or it'll take hours. Mazes are better than word search, but worse than spot the difference books. Got her painting today, and she will be trying small 25 piece jigsaw puzzles tomorrow.

Talking about some childhood hobbies i remember a friend from high school taught me how to make a box stitch keychain that i loved making wanna pick that back up gonna give beading a try too and some other hobbies from your other videos

Latchhook is super simple too!

[@cozeydaze]

I think that Crayola is water based and the other kinds are alcohol based which is why they bleed through.

Yes, I was going to say that it's not quite the same use
