The word hobby is derived from the hobby horse, a wooden horse. The word hobby in the modern sense means a recreational activity that is practised for interest and enjoyment rather than financial gain. Hobbies is aimed at personal fulfilment and improves the quality of life. Many different hobbies practised by people are professions for others and vice versa.

Many hobbies are suitable for the whole family to enjoy. What should always be considered is the amount of time required to complete these activities as well as the difficulty level involved. Younger children might struggle with some activities and not find others fun. When partaking in hobbies as a family it is always essential to consider everyone in the family and their interests. Time management is always vital. Available time for different family members almost always vary. This should be addressed before choosing a suitable hobby.

The cost hobbies vary greatly. Before venturing into a new hobby, the cost should always be considered. Before buying expensive equipment for a new hobby, equipment can be hired. This then serves as a test run, to avoid the equipment gathering dust in valuable storage space when losing interest in the hobby.
