According to Dreamcatcher's website, the blanket should be 10% of the child's weight plus one pound, so five pounds for yours. However, you will be making new ones every year! Remembering that 14 pounds is the limit for a weighted blanket, I would just make one 14 pounds. Most of that weight will be on the bed, and only a small portion will actually be on her body. Just instruct her not to double it up, don't put it on her neck, and don't put it over her toes when she is lying on her back. Also, it'd be good to make a cover forth blanket so that it could be changed easily with changing interests, and washed quite bit more easily.

add yo-yo's to dress up your denim quilt
I did a small quilt with Yo- yos. You secure the yo-yos to the quilt by stitching around the outside edge. I use a decorative stitch. For additional fun, you can add pom-poms to the center of the yo-yo.
