8+ Ways To Beat Boredom When You're Stuck At Home

A lot of us are currently stuck at home for a lack of a better phrase. That would be fine if it was only for a day or two, but if you need to do so for an extended period of time, you might run out of things to do.

But don't worry — I've got you covered. Here are some cool things to entertain you while you're homebound.

1. Paint By Numbers

Etsy

I've never actually attempted to do this myself, but I suspect this is an activity that's quite time-consuming. So... get going already! Hee, hee, hee.

2. Cooking Projects

Pinterest

Is there a recipe you've always wanted to attempt but never had the time nor the patience for it? I think now's the time to do it.

3. Get Crocheting

Etsy

I used to crochet as a kid, or at least, I attempted it, lol. If you want to brush up on your skills get a crochet kit from Etsy.

4. Adult Coloring Books

Amazon

Adult coloring books seem like such a cool idea, and if you're a Jason Momoa fan, you can jump on this bandwagon. OMG, hilarious.

5. Start An Art Project

If you're even more ambitious why not try to recreate an artist's painting on a smaller scale? I think that sounds really awesome.

6. Do That Puzzle

Amazon

I used to love doing puzzles as a kid but now I can never find the time to do them. I guess this is my chance!

7. Play A Card Game

Amazon

If your entire family is stuck together, now's the time to bring out that card game you used to play together. So fun! I recommend Exploding Kittens if you haven't tried it before!

8. Lego Projects

Pinterest

Remember when I wrote about all the amazing things people make out of Lego? Now you can learn how to do it, too. Wow, this Baby Yoda is awesome!

9. Get Journaling

Pinterest

I remember when I actually used to write everything that happened to me in a journal. Maybe this is the perfect time to start up again.

10. Catch Up On TV Shows

There are so many TV shows I've missed out on. You too? Now you've got time to catch up on Breaking Bad or Dexter.

11. Do A DIY Project

Pinterest

Can you believe somebody actually created a bird feeder out of an empty ketchup bottle? That is so creative. You can do that, too.

12. Have A Bubble Bath

Pinterest

This is another self-care activity I used to do all the time. But, these days I'd be lucky to take a quick shower. Let's bring this back.

13. Talk On The Phone

Whatever happened to that? I mean it's all about texting these days. But if you miss somebody's voice and can't see them, just call already.

14. Learn Embroidery

Now's the perfect time to learn the art of embroidery. It's a great beginner craft and once you get the hang of it, it becomes addictive.

15. Doodle On A Rainbow Scratch Pad

Amazon

Did anyone else have these when they were a kid? As it turns out, they're still fun to do as an adult. Scratch and design all your boredom away.

OMG, can you believe people are already complaining about being bored just because they have been staying in for a while?

Clearly, there's so much to do. Ha, ha! Get on it!
