Fun things to do at home

I've been housebound for a while. I'm not bored, I enjoy reading, listening to music, the usual home entertainment. However, I've been thinking about how I could experience more of what can't be done at home by definition. Things like recreating the northern lights or having a llama visit. Any creative ideas? What would you do?

Interesting topic @MissMarple!
I don't have any particularly creative ideas off the top of my head, but I'll definitely have a think
We used to do indoor picnics when we were young and couldn't get outside, which I always enjoyed. I also used to have some glow in the dark stars on my ceiling, so I could pretend I was stargazing when it got dark.
Maybe you could also try building some of the 7 wonders of the world? Or working out a recipe for something that's on a Michelin starred restaurant's menu?
I think having some animals to visit is a great idea, as is recreating the northern lights.

Ha, when you said have a llama visit I was thinking Buddhist monk.
how about building the seven wonders of the world using glued matchsticks? Or any building really, it’s fun. I built a cottage type log cabin like this and used dried Leylandi for the thatched roof.
I once also made a small mould to make plaster bricks in and built castles for the children, also fun.
i also made my own board game once too, easier than you might think ?“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”

Homemade Michelin starred dinner sounds good @Tori_Scope

Maybe not fun but productive: something I do if I am bored is take a drawer or storage basket and empty it out. You are sure to either find things to throw away, making space, or find something useful that you didn’t know you had
