Activities for children?

I would love to see more activities unlocked for child Sims. The child stage is my least favorite because I feel like it's so limited--there are only 4 big goals they can accomplish, which is boring and tiresome for me once I have done them all. Some of the existing activities that teens-elders can do would even be perfect for those little guys!

A few ideas for activities:
-Baking! Not necessarily cooking, but one of my favorite memories from my own early childhood is standing on a chair in the kitchen helping Mom bake cookies. How cute would that be for a sweet little moment? <3
-Why can't children work in the garden? I understand not using the bug spray (for the sake of realism), but why not give them the ability to weed and water the plants? Even harvest them?
-Learning to swim/play games in the pool. Again, I'm imagining the animations and they would be adorable! And I remember being able to play Marco Polo in TS2 (Or rather, "Timla!" "Tourneau!!" :mrgreen: ), that would be such a fun activity for all ages!
-Painting at the easel, or perhaps have a child's easel. I've mentioned before that I think that activity table looks too juvenile when you're trying to show preteen child, so a special easel for kids would be perfect.

Kids have so much untapped potential in this game! I do use poses and animations in-game, but having them readily available is so much more convenient. :)
