Can you guess this Japanese term?

Without looking it up in a dictionary or asking someone can you guess what this Japanese term means?

孫の手 (まごのて)

I came across it in a short game I’m playing and found it pretty humorous.

Not sure where I ran into it before (maybe bunpro, I think?), but I also found it very interesting. It means back scratcher. I wonder if grandchildren would traditionally help deal with itchiness for their grandparents in the past? Or maybe it is just because the tool looks like a small hand?
