Are you searching for a new hobby to stay active and productive during your downtime at home? From basket weaving to painting to embroidery—there are a myriad of creative pursuits to try. And don't let the list of new supplies deter you. We've put together a handy guide of all-inclusive arts and crafts kits that contain everything you need to begin your new artistic venture.

Origami is a popular pastime among adults and children alike. Pick up Japanese Origami for Beginners by Vanda Battaglia to learn the ins and outs of making striking paper cranes, flowers, and more. Alternatively, if you prefer more practical crafts, consider The Hobbyist Box's beautiful Soap Making Kit. Inside, the artist provides dried flowers among the essential ingredients so you can create your own pair of scented, botanical soaps.

Sunny weather is primetime for painting en plein air. Follow in the footsteps of Impressionist masters like Monet and Renoir by picking up a comprehensive Acrylic Painting Set by US Art Supply. This kit features 24 acrylic paints, 4 artist brushes, 6 professional canvas panels, and an adjustable wooden desk easel to prepare you for a summer of landscape pictures. Or, learn the basics of the ancient Japanese Shibori technique of hand dyeing through Shop Adroit's Indigo Dyeing Kit.
