these "Lightweight Power Reflectors" They're badass. Takes a good hour or so to put them on but they show up crazy bright in car headlights (no battery needed!)

Here's more pics

If you want to do something crafty with your daughter, you could try to cut some of this 3m reflective tape into interesting shapes: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotchlite-Reflective-Silver-36-Inch/dp/B000BQRIV2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452464185&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+reflective+tape. My experience with that tape is that it is very reflective, but you'll want to replace it after a couple years.

If you want something reflective on the spokes, these work pretty well: http://www.amazon.com/Lightweights-Power-Reflectors-Wheels-86-Piece/dp/B002KYFWQ6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1452464201&sr=8-4&keywords=reflective+bicycle+spoke

Also, Vespertine makes some reflective flower pins and such. My wife has one, so I can tell you they are definately very reflective, but they are kind of silly expensive: http://shop.vespertinenyc.com/category/jewelry. I'm not sure exactly where I can just get a sheet of whatever they are made of to make my own stuff.

Put some tape on the crank arms and some spokes. The movement should make you more visible.

There's these if you have trouble with reflective tape on spokes.

I realize you're probably looking for clothing, but in addition to the good recommendations you're bound to get here, try Lightweights. I swear by them for all of my wheels -- lighter than reflectors, and far more effective (anecdotally speaking). Apparently they make rolls of tape now, not just the little stickers for spokes.

Sidewalk riding can be dangerous, no one is expecting you to be riding there and driveways can be around blind corners. Sometimes it's your only choice depending on where you live and the level of bike infrastructure

As far as reflective items go, check out these lightweights they work great on wheel spokes and are cheaper than a vest but still increase visibility.

It is easier to answer a question if you link to the product

In terms of how well they stick I don't know as I don't own that particular product however you mention they are not reflective and appear grey?

I have 3M Scotchlite spoke reflectors and they are grey in normal light and don't appear to reflect much light as shown here:

but when a light is shown on them from eye level they appear very bright:

Try and look at the reflectors at while shining a flashlight on them and see how reflective they are. Also remember the reflectors work on light being reflected back so light has to be shone on them to work properly and they are to be used in conjunction with lights at night.

thanks! I used this stuff for the frame and lightweights reflector tape for the wheels.

The tape is super adhesive and reflective. Here is a picture without the flash.
