Try an "Art-a-round." It was great with my sister when she was young. I got the table ready with crayons, water-soluable marker pens, and colored pencils. I told her to tell me the name of something. It didn't matter if it was a real word (much later into doing this we required that it was not a real word or a real thing,) Then I started drawing a few of the parts of whatever it was. Next, she had to fill in some details. We went back and forth like this for a while, then we started to color it.
That's where the crayons and markers started to stretch her art sense, and captured her full attention. We put on the crayon first. Then we put some of the water-soluable markers next (permanent markers will just stain the entire thing, and you won't get such interseting results.) Next, you can scratch through the marker pens, and wipe some of it off with a damp (not wet) paper towel for a variety of effects. The first ones were only memorable because what my sister really needed from me was attention, but later pieces got saved and taped to her bedroom walls. And we both had a lot of fun making up silly stories, some of which can send us up in gales of laughter to this day.(30 years later.) Have fun.

Do everything slightly differently today, like when you walk to school/work take a different road. Smile at one person you do not know. Say Hi if it seems OK. Get up two hours early and start the day watching the sunrise. Tidy up a cupboard and you will come across odds and ends that trigger memories of things you used to enjoy doing. Volunteer for something.

Learn something new. Piano, singing, dancing, Tell her to exercise daily, run 1/2 mi or more, get a pet, help others with their chores, get a goal, challenge her to do something better than she ever thought she could have. Learn to type, sew, cook, she needs some skills to develop.

Why don't you ask her if she'd like to invent her own language? She can use any symbols and all she'd need to do is to put them together in sequences only she could understand. That'll be good for two hours or a lifetime. ;P

She can create a story in her head, or write it. Suggest a character or a setting that she is fond of and have her take off with it.

Crackheads never seem bored, just smelly and broke.
