mud dumpling

I think everyone made them when they were little, but making mud dumplings is actually quite deep.
If you really get into it, you can make brightly colored mud dumplings that shine brilliantly.
These days, there are dedicated kits available for making shiny, vividly colored mud dumplings, so why not give it a try?
Juggling

It involves repeatedly throwing and catching multiple balls in the air, maintaining a state where something is always airborne.
There are varying levels of difficulty in how you throw, and you can increase the number of balls you use, making it an activity where you can push your own limits.
Making dried flowers

Dried plants such as flowers and grasses that are used for decoration are called dried flowers.
Basically, you can make them easily just by hanging them, and if you use commercial desiccants, you can dry them with more vivid colors.
They look stylish and are perfect for display.
LEGO brick

It’s a game where you build things by stacking plastic blocks.
Many people probably played it when they were little.
These days, there are also series that recreate foreign movies and anime, so fans might want to give it a try.
paper cutting

We cut paper and create pictures.
By using not only scissors but also utility knives and craft knives, you can make works with more attention to detail.
As you practice, you’ll naturally feel your dexterity improving.
Another pleasure is displaying the pieces you’ve created yourself.
Coloring book

Coloring books are something everyone played with as a child, but lately they’ve been drawing attention as a hobby for adults as well.
If you get bored with coloring exactly like the sample, try using your own color schemes; and by using materials not only like colored pencils but also watercolor paints or pastels, you can create a coloring piece that’s uniquely your own.
fishing

Fishing offers many kinds of enjoyment: not only the fun of catching fish, but also the pleasure of waiting for a bite and the joy of eating what you catch.
In addition to sea and river fishing, there are facilities called “fishing ponds” for people who want an easy, casual experience.
There are fishing ponds all over Japan, so why not give them a try?
