I'm only bored when I watch TV. I'm surprised no one mentioned art, theres all kinds of art, collages, found art, finger painting, crayons, you don't have to be a Picasso or Michelangelo and draw, paint or sculpt. There's embroidery too. Weaving, you get into a state of calm relaxation from weaving that is like no other state.
Put some music on and dance.
There's tons of craft stuff you can get in the stores too, just go to the toy section and pick out a kit to get a taste of something you've never tried before. If you like it you can invest more in it.
Writing too is great, just free flow, rhyme or do a haiku. Write a play using your favorite characters. There are also games on the computer as well as puzzles.
Pets will never bore anyone, well maybe if it is a snail it might be a bit slow?
If you want some cheap entertainment go outside and watch the leaves look how they change when the sun hits them, at different times of the day. Are they moist, dry, sharp, soft??? Do it with bugs, ants are fascinating. Look for different birds, rocks, the pavement what is it made of? Look at your eyes, shine a flashlight into the mirror and watch your pupils shrink.
At the very least dare to daydream, have a conversation with a famous person in your head. Theres meditation too! It's harder than you think to not think. Zen.
