Fun Things to do in Lockdown for Adults

In these uncertain times, with lockdowns feeling like they’re becoming the new normal, there's plenty of fun things to do in lockdown for adults to keep you occupied and creative. There’s more than enough things to try, so here’s some inspiration for productive, fun things to do when you’re bored at home.

Things to make at home and keep as a memento, are easier than ever with the accessibility of virtual classes and craft kits. The best part is, these indoor activities can also boost your brain and your mood!  

Liven up your home with a terrarium kit 

Lockdowns are the perfect opportunity to make time for some perhaps much-needed home improvement. Whether that means redecorating or finding things to make at home to brighten your surroundings; learning how to make a terrarium is an easy and fun way to add a beautiful new feature to your home. 

Plants are proven to help you relax, and are the perfect way to ease those lockdown feelings of uncertainty. If you’re stuck indoors, with no garden, this is the perfect way to bring a miniature garden inside. 

Why not try a pottery kit?

If you’ve got enough houseplants as it is, why not focus on making a unique plant pot for them instead. Pottery is commonly used in art therapy and pottery at home kits make it possible for you to enjoy the therapeutic benefits in the comfort of your home. 

It doesn’t have to be a plant pot, if you’re looking for fun things to do when you’re bored, clay is an incredibly diverse material so make anything you fancy, from a sculpture to jewellery, to home dishes, and enjoy experimenting with clay. 

If it’s the weekend, try a cocktail making kit

If you like a drink, or two, and you don’t know what to do this weekend at home, cocktail making at home is easier than you think. Drop your friends a message and get them on board, stay connected and enjoy virtual drinks together. Transform your home into a lively bar for the evening!

Don’t let lockdown get in the way of socialising with loved ones. If you’re stuck for at home date ideas, this is the perfect experience for you and your partner. This is the best way to still enjoy drinks together and get more involved in the process together, so when lockdown is over, you can save money by staying in and exercising the cocktail making skills you’ve gained. 

Develop your palate with an online cooking course

It’s so easy to make the same meals every week, we are creatures of routine after all. If you’re looking to develop your palette, and try something new in the kitchen, a cooking class online is the perfect companion. Whether it’s baking for those of you with a sweet tooth, or something more savoury for every day, this is a sure way to make cooking exciting again and get your taste buds going!

It can be hard to simply follow a recipe book, as there’s a lack of help and guidance if something starts to go wrong. With an online class, let expert chefs support you all the way! Get a cooking craft kit delivered to your door, and avoid the grocery store altogether. What easier way to experience the best food than to make it yourself? Transform your kitchen into a quality restaurant for the night, and bring eating out, in!

Raining and cold outside? Make your own candles!

If the weather is so bleak outside that you’re glad to be stuck inside, order a candle making kit and add some ambience to your home. It smells great and is a relaxing experience all round.
