I have only ever heard the word in one context and I am certain its not what you mean! [/quote] It's when you make shapes out of wood with a knife. Wood carving, except you are usually just taking a stick and shaving (widdling) it into a spear for your next war in Middle Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ireallylovejesus Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 [quote name='i<3LSOP' timestamp='1324578846' post='2355952'] Hey Pham, I've got to get more in my life then just going once a week to a violin lesson, the home, and Mass. Any good ideas for hobbies, activities with other kids, or little jobs that a twelve y.o. gal could do? Thanks. Also... we don't live in a neighborhood, and I've looked all over for good orchestras but there are no good ones around. [/quote] Painting & Scrapbooking. Just don't let them use very sharp scissors or toxic paint. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ireallylovejesus Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Oh. It just crossed my mind. How about making a story book? you get to create your own story and also do the illustration. That will be fun. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximilianus Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 You could always take up some kind of 3d art medium, like ceramics or clay. You can make stuff that is nice to look at and that can be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Well, I'm a guy, so my suggestions will be for guy-ish hobbies: Learn to solder or weld or learn woodworking, always supremely useful and fun. Learn to write excellent prose. Learn to draw. Learn to program computers. (I started doing this when I was 8, but of course I was also allowed to use the computer as much as I wanted then... you can't learn to program or do anything else constructive with a computer with 1/2 hour a day. You just can't, it's truly impossible. Might as well not even have a computer at that point IMO, but I'm a geek.) You could also take firearms safety and learn to be a good marksman, or barring that get a bow and learn archery. You'll notice I suggest learning things- the best hobbies are ones where you learn stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
