3. Watch cartoons, or another nostalgic TV show.
4. Play a board game.
5. Try an adult coloring book.
6. Paint a picture.
7. Make a collage of photos.
8. Bake something delicious.
9. Make a cozy beverage, such as hot chocolate or a tea latte.
10. Play 20 questions with family and friends.
11. Dance to your favorite music.
12. Dive back into an old favorite book, or read something new.
13. Play with your pet.
14. Hula hoop.
15. Play a card game or online solitaire.
