Paper mache would be fun, although it might not be for you if you have sensory issues and dislike getting all slimy like you'd end up doing with that craft, or pottery even for that matter.

Also, drawing, painting, or sculpture in general is fun as well.

I actually would like to start playing with paper mache again as the last time I did anything with that was in middle school, but it's just too messy to be feasible atm.
