I like to sit around and tie knots. It keeps my hands busy and I feel like it's something that could actually be of use too. First Class Amateur on YouTube is a great way to start.

Ropes, strings, cords, whatever you want to call it, can all be found just about anywhere and are pretty inexpensive

There is also the wide world of weaving/braiding bracelets and things. Google Macrame and boondoggle knots

There is a really great app called Knots 3D that has fantastic animations showing you how to tie knots. I believe it's about 6$ however. I have found it extremely useful.
