I can't count the number of times I've seen something online and said to myself, "That looks cool! I should try that and learn something new". Of course, I never DO it, but my intentions are good. I just get too busy with other things. 

Well, at the moment, NONE of us are too busy since we're staying at home. There's a list of 27 starter kits for hobbies on the website Buzzfeed and there are some really cool kits. And they aren't too expensive.

There's a starter kit for weaving, for yoga, for drawing, for making your own cheese, for making your own booze and more! There's stuff for adults and a few for kids.

I'm thinking of trying the candle making kit and the soap making kit AND the make your own pickle kit. You know I'm a fan of the pickle! I didn't see a kit on this list, but at some point I want to learn how to knit. I still have some sweaters and jackets that my grandmother knitted for me when I was a baby. I'd love to learn how to do it!

Since we're all staying at home for uncertain amount of time, learn how to do something new! Take a look at all of the starter kits here.
