What do your puffers like to do for fun?

I've only had my F8 puffer "Sammy von Puffington" for a day and all I know is she likes swimming against the outtake flow of the filter. She does a little surfing movement, it's rather cute.
I haven't given her much of a chance to have fun because she only has the bare essentials + aragonite sand and a few hours ago I added in this:

It's a puffer club house.

That's a nice one! Some folks have been known to add Habitrails to their puffer tank.

That's cool, I'll have to try that! =)
Are there any fake aquatic plants or decor that you've known puffers to like?

Swimming against powerhead is a big one. Closely followed by inspecting live rock, chasing ghost shrimp, and begging me for food.

LOL!
Ooo, I like the ghost shrimp idea. Tomorrow I'm going to my favorite LFS to get some pond snails for my puffer, I could pick up some ghost shrimp too. I'm hoping that if she has to hunt for some of her food, she won't be as bored.
I'm also going to acclimate some java ferns from my planted tank to brackish and hope they survive. If I transfer some anubius, would she sleep/hang out on the leaves? I've seen pictures of dwarf puffers doing it so I was wondering.
She seems to like the little rock cave I got for her.
