A really easy thing to pick up that can be kind of addicting is whittling. Literally any pocket knife, or even a non-serrated kitchen knife can get you going and all you need to do to start is shave the bark off of a stick.
From there just try making designs or shapes and use your imagination. There’s a ton of good information on the internet, just don’t listen too closely to the tool snobs. People will tell you it’s no use to even try without expensive equipment that really isn’t necessary. (Every hobby has gate-keepers lol)
Just be careful, and always cut away from yourself, especially at the beginning. Like with anything, once you get the hang of it you can start to bend the rules a bit.
