Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of quarters or half dollars are $500. You don't have to buy the whole box. The bank can pull out whatever amount you like.
Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin album and try to fill all the holes (get one for each year) or just search for interesting ones.
The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same coins over and over). Everything you find will have been obtained at face value. You'd be surprised what people have found. Check out these links to see:

Also check your change for interesting finds.
Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with the "S" mintmark - it could be a proof coin etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!
It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have.
OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU...

How about making sculptures or jewelry with Sculpey clay? The clay comes in a wide variety of colors. You can also get molds to start out with. There are many books out there that give step by step instructions on making everything from fairy's to animals. This clay is so easy to work with. Once you make whatever you want, you bake it in the oven and it gets hard. I think you would enjoy it. It really is a lot of fun.

Learn to make spiffy outfits, try other arts and crafts that may not be boring, feast, learn archery etc, etc. There's a fair few kids in our group, and one reason I joined was that it is a family friendly atmosphere so it's something we can all do together. Well, you can all go along to the same event, do different things, and still come home feeling like you've spent the day together.

There are lots of things you could try.
Head over to http://www.craftster.org and check out the forums there. Something over there could inspire you - it's a craft forum for "hip, off beat" crafts. You'll be suprised over many of the crafts posted there.

How about scrap booking or card making. If you like fashion you could try sewing or designing your own clothes or home accessories.**
