when you need an extra hand

My kids love Uno, and this summer we've played a lot.  Even took it to the beach with us on vacation, and got the grandparents in on it, too.  But it's hard for Jessie and even Rebecca sometimes, when they get a lot of cards and have trouble holding them.  I've tried making holders out of CDs (not very successful), picking them up and showing each card one by one while keeping my eyes closed (very time-consuming though pretty much guaranteed to crack the kids up), and just letting them spread them out on the floor  face up (no fun knowing what everyone's cards are).

The solution was actually very simple.  A simple set of Lego stairs and voila!  Fun times.  She had to extend it quite a bit... but that's the beauty of it, even if you need three rows of stairs, no problem at all. 

I actually won this round.
