Pet tags

A. has a small stuffed cat named Cherry who is very dear to her. We recently got Cherry a collar and a pet tag, with "CHERRY" on one side and our address and phone number on the reverse. I wanted to mention this idea, because it's a great way for a small child to memorize that information. Plus, if the stuffed animal ever goes missing (which in our case would be a catastrophe, because Cherry accompanies us everywhere and A can't sleep without her), some kindly person will hopefully give you a call. If you have a cell phone and you put that number on the tag, it could even be useful if your child gets separated from you.
