Enter ... the Lazy Parent 6000 (aka a cardboard box with 3 flaps folded inside*):
We use it with the open side toward Lazy Kid so that she can put her cards inside it or on the flap, and the extra surface on top makes a convenient place to put the communal stack of cards so they don't get mixed in with her jumble. The box is tall enough so that Lazy Husband can't see over it, so he can't cheat. Now, if we could just get her to stop announcing the color and number of every "fish" she draws, he'd be on the straight and narrow.

Too cute and what a great idea! I have an avid card-playing daughter also. She is six, and I am so happy she has moved up from Old Maid and Go Fish to Uno, which is a bit less mindnumbing as a parent to play. Thanks for the post.
awww! that is so cute - father and daughter bonding moments. and the box - what a clever idea!
