Ideas to keep DS (10) entertained with a broken arm?

DS broke his arm yesterday and has a cast in for the next few weeks.

He's normally very active and is bored already.

Any ideas to keep him entertained? It's his right arm so he can't write / draw etc.

Gravitrax is good and could be built with one arm.

My 9 and 11yos have a liking for adult-aimed magic and card tricks - lots of you tube videos to help learn the different card cuts.

Smart games do excellent one person games - we have Jump In but they have absolutely loads to choose from.

Mine had both arms in full casts and it was a nightmare except that he could still hold and work Switch controllers so that was a godsend.

Get some young children's colouring books so he can practise holding a pencil and using it. He'll still need to do his school work!

Mine just watched loads of tv for the first few days. Insisted that I had to choose some of it so there was something sensible in there.

jigsaws -challenge him with a 1000 piece one!
