I tell you what I would be useful (as a tangentially similar idea).
At my daughter's school you quite often find that the girls' have grabbed another girl's coat, hat, P.E kit etc (they have to wear a school uniform).
The current solution is to sew name tags into the clothes, which is helpful at finding the wrong clothes after the fact.
What I thought would be cool would be is if you could sew an RFID name tag into your child's clothes, and then wave a "wand" over them as you collect them, and it beeps if they have someone else's coat (for example) on.
This may well be a bit of an over-engineered solution :-)
