I just started two new hobbies that sound like they (or some variation of them) could be what you're looking for: playing the harmonica and knitting.

  • Harmonica is definitely hands on, and you can start off with some really simple songs that are pretty easy to play. The nice thing is, as long as you buy a diatonic harmonica, it's all in one key. That means that no matter what note you play it at least won't sound bad, even if it's the wrong note/chord. I feel like this has been motivating for me, because hitting a wrong/harsh note is really discouraging. There are a ton of instructional videos online, and /r/harmonica is a great resource. Harmonica's are pretty cheap, just $30-$40 USD for a pretty good starter. Other small musical instruments could also be good, stuff like a jaw harp. Only problem you could run into is if the practicing annoys your spouse, I know my wife prefers it if I go into another room to tool around on it.

  • Knitting is surprisingly easy to learn, and it keeps your hands busy. /r/knitting has a great Wiki that takes you step by step through some beginner projects and on up into complicated ones. Getting enough yarn/the right needles for my first project (a scarf for my wife) cost only around $15-$20, and I bought more than I technically needed. Since you're being frugal, this is a hobby that also produces things, like new clothes for you and your family. $8 worth of yarn is (theoretically, at least) going to make my wife a scarf that would probably cost $20-$30 or more in a store (it's a biggish scarf). Another nice thing is that you can do it while talking to other people, watching tv, even listening to audio books.

    Don't know if any of that is up your alley, but I was surprised, with both of those, how easy they are to start learning. I feel like that's pretty important with a new hobby, because if they're too difficult initially it takes a ton of willpower to keep pushing yourself to actually do it. Then it's not a hobby, it's a chore.

    Some other fun and cheap stuff that i like to do: /r/running and /r/Fitness , /r/photography (you'd be amazed at the quality of pictures you can get out of a smartphone), learning how to code, reading (library is awesome, you can also get audio and ebooks there now), and drawing. All of these have great tutorials on youtube that can get you started. You can also really improve in most of these, some of them even to the point where it can become an income-earner.

    Anyway, this was way more in-depth than I set out to make it, but your situation reminded me of myself not too long ago. I've been really pleased with the results from putting my spare time into something productive and fun, rather than just wasting time with a crappy iPhone game or on Reddit.
