Horizontal Parenting

Every parent needs a break. This playful activity book is built around one simple idea: you can entertain a child while lying down. It packs in 50 low-effort, high-fun games designed to keep little ones busy while a tired grown-up rests.

Written by former Lifehacker parenting editor Michelle Woo and illustrated by Dasha Tolstikova, it turns the couch or the floor into a stage for silly, genuinely engaging play — no standing required.
