Two years ago, I bought my daughter a paint by numbers kit.  She really enjoyed it then, so this Christmas I bought one for her again, and one for myself.  This is an activity I have not done since I was a little girl – a bit nostalgic.  I found it to be no stress, non-demanding, and almost therapeutic in process.  And I love that deliberate, paint by numbers look.  Better still, it was a parallel activity we did together while sipping our favorite teas, and talking about almost everything.
