Step 3: Try new recipes to find new treats.
Write down what you have in the refrigerator, cabinets, and/or pantry with a pen and paper in your kitchen.Combine the things you have available in new and interesting ways to create your own unique recipes.If you are willing to get creative, there are a lot of things you can make on your own.If you are not allowed to use the stove or the oven, you can experiment with new healthy smoothie or sandwich combinations.If you want to get fancy with your kitchen experiments, you can make crackers with different ingredients, like cream cheese and strawberries, or different types of roll-ups, such as turkey and bacon with dried fruit.
Step 4: You can make jewelry to wear, gift, or sell.
If you want to make your own jewelry, an adult can take you to an art supply or craft store.If you want to learn how to braid friendship bracelets, do your own beadwork, or craft jewelry out of metal, you can either search online or get a book from a bookstore.You can keep the jewelry you make for yourself, give some away as gifts, or even start your own small business once you have mastered your craft.
Step 5: If you want to get some fresh air, go for a walk or jog.
If you want to instantly beat boredom, put on your athletic shoes and head outside for a walk or jog around your neighborhood, or at a nearby park.Bring headphones and listen to music, or just enjoy the sounds of nature as you travel.You can take pictures of the plants, animals, and insects on your walk with a camera.When you get home, look up the things you photographed in a book or online to see what you have seen.

Step 8: There are dogs at an animal shelter.
The phonebook can be used to find animal shelters in your area.If you are in need of a dog walker, call the shelter or check their website.While you may need your parents to drive you and, depending on your age, stay and walk with you, volunteering to walk shelter dogs will help you beat boredom and help your community.
Step 9: You should clean out your closet.
Try on all the clothes, shoes, and accessories in your closet.Determine if you still like the items and if they still fit.You can organize your closet by putting all the items that you want to keep in it.Put all of the things you don't want in a basket or bag.You can ask your parents if they will take you to a donation center where you can donate the clothes you don't want to others in need.

Step 11: For hours of entertainment, read a good book.
To beat boredom, you can pick up a good book.An adult can take you to a bookstore, find a book on your digital reader, or look around your house for a new book that you haven't yet read.Try to start a book club with some of your friends.You can read a book at the same time and discuss it through email, letters, or in person whenever you want.
Step 12: You can write notes to your friends and family.
What better way to beat boredom than to surprise your friends and family with a handwritten note?Write a letter to your grandparents to let them know what you've been up to, or write a note thanking your parents for everything they do for you.You can beat boredom by becoming pen pals with someone you think may be bored as well.
Step 13: If you start a journal you will get more entertaining ideas.
Write down your feelings and ideas in a blank notebook.Writing in a journal will provide you with a relaxing and entertaining activity that you can pick up at any time, and it will also give you a place to privately share your thoughts and record your favorite memories.You could also start an art journal if you don't enjoy writing or doing art.Instead of writing down your thoughts, feelings, and ideas, use your journal to express yourself by painting or drawing.
