What to do for fun

Build a model --

Many people would enjoy building some type of model. Kits are available for building a variety of models: cars, airplanes, insects, ships and others. If nothing in particular comes to mind, visiting a hobby shop might give you an idea. Start out with a simple model and later try more complicated and involved ones.

Or instead of a kit, do an original design. It could be something familar such as a building or bridge. The design could be futuristic, fanciful or abstract. It could be any shape or structure that you think you would like to make.

Possibilities:

  • futuristic house
  • boat or sailing ship
  • high tech device
  • something that has no function but looks like it does

    Possible building materials include:
  • clay
  • paper
  • paper mache
  • cardboard
  • wood
  • cloth
  • aluminum foil
  • styrofoam
  • plaster of paris

    Found items might be used. Possiblities are:
  • toothpicks
  • straws
  • a piece of tree branch
  • empty containers from purchased items
  • tubes left from toilet paper and paper towels
  • parts from no longer wanted toys
  • parts from appliances that no longer work
  • other unwanted household items
