A friend advised me to plan things to do during the days past my due date for much the same reason.
My five year-old would love a ball winder. I wonder what my mother has done with hers. She is also very good at shelling peas and picking blackberries and delights in wandering round the house with a spray bottle of kitchen cleaner and a damp cloth.
My mum's theory is that as soon as they get old enough to be good at things, they stop being interested in doing them, but I think that is overly pessimistic.
