hi
im a twelve year old boy, who wants to have a hobby.
i already have one, which is my aquarium(s)
but that is not very time consuming?
so what i need is another cheap, time consuming hobby that i can do for myself, and is fun.

Fishing, Running (track and what not), basketball, sports card collecting, bird watching (you did say cheap).

Paint by numbers. I did large ones when I was 6 years old. Takes up lots of time.

it would also be nice if it was something that would be better and better more time i used doing it
like if you play piano a long time you get better at it
or being good at drawing, you can make some nice paintings

How about wood carving. You can try if with ivory soap first to see if you like it before you spend alot of money. Start with the bar of ivory bar soap and ask mom for a small paring knife. Make sure she knows what your doing and she can see if you like it and maybe she can help at first. The soap carves
real easy, and it's easy to get hooked. I hope this interest you. I used to help 5th, graders get started like that. It's fun. Try making a book first, or maybe a boot, or duck. It's fun and make great presents. Good Luck.

Hi, magnus1136!

How about writing songs and learning how to play them on the piano? Those are two things that I can definately help you with on this site.

Thanks!

You could always pick up some sort of musical instrument like a guitar and learn to play it.

It really depends on what you are interested in. There are countless hobbies out there so why don't you tell us a little about yourself and what you like so we can come up with more tailored suggestions.
