Hobbies are interests or activities which the hobbyist pursues for relaxation or pleasure. Collecting things is a popular hobby. People collect virtually everything, from coins and stamps to Winnie the Pooh replicas and books. Outdoor recreation involves mixing action with being outside and includes such things as hiking, hunting, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Artistic and performing arts such as juggling, performing magic, singing, and dancing are entertaining for others and frequently hobbies for those who do them. Creative things such as arts and crafts, painting, photography, jewelry making, scrapbooking, and Photoshopping are always popular, and they double as things to keep the children busy on a rainy day.
