I'm sure, with all the kids to keep track of, someone will end up wandering off. I'll have to see whether the group thinks it's worth investing in a set even just for the day!

I used to work for Disney & had to do two weeks at the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playground." There was only 1 entrance / exit door, but kids were still CONSTANTLY getting lost. Probably 1 per hour. We knew that they were in the playground (we had staff at the door making sure that no child left unattended) but it was still hard to track them down. One little girl came up to me crying and it took me 15 minutes to find her mom. When I reunited them, they asked her if she had shown her "card" (an index card stuck in her pocket with her information on it). Of course, she had been too distraught to even remember about that! Something easily visible is a great idea. Becky http://www.stinkylemsky.typepad.com/ That is pretty smart!

Haha! I read on that tattoo site how it's not a good idea, though, as those chemicals leech right into their little bodies. I have written on my child’s arm with a Sharpie. Haha!

Of course, in a pinch, one could just take a sharpie marker and write the phone number on the inside of a kids arm or something. But I love the tattoo! I once saw a lost crying child at Disneyland - and the parent was only steps away but the crowd was so thick they couldn't see eachother. I'll never forget the look of utter panic on that parent's face. Brilliant!
