Many people like having hobbies , but many of us have cut back when it comes to doing the things we like so that we can save money. Building model airplanes, for example, might have gone by the wayside with the recession because it is a hobby that can quickly get expensive. Fishing Fishing is another fairly inexpensive hobby.

When the holidays are over, when the toys are old and tossed aside, when the wind and snow are howling outside, and the kids are wailing “ I’m bored” what can you do to entertain and educate them? Sharing a hobby with a child can be very rewarding. Make your own play dough (puzzle, website, puppets). What do you know how to do?

Next I made a brown paper hand drawn mat to use as a game board. I keep a roll of heavy paper (which I buy at Home Depot for about $11 for a roll about 2 inches thick and 2 feet wide) to use in wrapping packages, protecting floors during home projects, making garage sale signs and etc. Don’t count on going commercial.

What are your hobbies? We toyed around with the idea for a long time and didn’t think it was that possible for a while, since we were on one income most of our marriage.
