Indoor Hobby/interest for DS age 10

[pupchewsleg]

DS1, 10, is really struggling with things to do that are not screen based. In the holidays he has about 2 hours screen time a day and I don't want him to have more.
On school days he has after school activities he enjoys: trampolining, futsal, football, cubs and with a bit of screen time as well he doesn't have much spare time.
This Christmas holidays he has been difficult when not on a screen. His younger brother keeps himself busy with Lego, listening to music, singing, audio CDs, reading etc. DS1 thinks all these things are boring. In dry weather DS1 enjoys practicing on our trampoline and scooting.
Any suggestions for hobbies? DS1 is interested in computers, gaming, trampolining, stunts and scooters.

In the new year we are signing ds 9 up for archery lessons!!

He does like Archery, but I need something he can do indoors in Winter.....

Warhammer - takes aaaaages, involves buying and painting little figures and scenery then using them to fight tabletop battles against others. So you can do the preparation side alone but it also has a social side.

Warhammer sounds good. He would need some friends to get into it too. Is it popular with 11 year olds? I don't know much about it.

I was going to suggest war hammer too

Does he just need to invite a friend round?

Warhammer is a money pit, be warned! HE will need friends, or be taken to a games workshop shop.

Ogher similar things, would be collectible card games, like pokemon or Magic the gathering

Othwerise, how about cooking, sewing, meccano, magic, drawing or painting, yoyo tricks, whittling or wood carving

He has a friend next door, who (unfortunately for me) has unlimited access to screens. Having friends round is great but I would also like him to be able to entertain himself like he used to. He just mooches around the house saying he's bored, and drives me bonkers. He has got rid of all of his toys (happily taken by DS2) because they are for little kids apparently. For Xmas he only wanted a tablet and a moon ball, genuinely couldn't think of any toys, books etc he wanted.

I will sound him out on wood carving/whittling. I think he would like a knife! He is dyspraxic so fine motor skills not necessarily for him.
