WHY I RECOMMEND: Paint by numbers are a low-stress, sort of meditative (dissociative, even?) project to do on a flare day when you need to keep your mind focused. Get your spoonie nest ready, settle in, get as comfy as you realistically can, and paint away.

This Halloween-themed ghost paint-by-number kit is perfect for adults—including those with chronic pain or fatigue—who want an easy, relaxing creative activity. With a high-density, easy-to-read canvas, pre-mixed paints, and a brush set for all detail levels, it requires no prior painting experience. It’s a soothing, low-effort way to enjoy art and makes a thoughtful gift or cozy décor piece for any space.
