My daughter is that age and also loves to finger knit. She has the best luck (and the end product looks the nicest) with worsted or aran weight wool. Bulky is a little too much for her little fingers and the fingering/sport weight ends up looking like mesh.
My daughter regularly uses up the ends of my knitting cakes that are in colors she likes. She even stole one full hank of bright pinky-orange yarn. I would grab a yarn ball or two in colors that she likes. Check out Michaels or JoAnn's shops near you, both are having pretty big sales at the moment.
You may even consider something like a Zippy loom or a circular loom. Both work similarly to the finger knitting, so she should pick it up pretty quickly to make full size scarves and hats!
i used this tutorial for the scarves and a knitting loom like these for the hats. i used lion brand hometown USA for the yarn on all of them, they are easy to find for about $3 a skein from walmart. Hope this helps 😁
You can make flat panels/scarves and such on a round loom. All you do is not knit in the round, you would knit to the last peg and instead of connecting it to the first peg you would turn and knit back the opposite way.
Most of the people I know start with a set like this: https://www.amazon.com/Darice-Plastic-Knitting-11-inch-9-inch/dp/B001GAHFHY/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1541170279&sr=8-10&keywords=loom+knitting
That way you can make different size items more easily since it comes with different sized looms. I use the smallest to make socks/slippers and the largest to make panels for blankets. I started with a set like that, then bought some long rectangular looms, and also an infinity/afghan loom. I think the circle ones are a good starting point for people just getting into this. Double knitting with the rectangle looms is good for when you want something thicker and warmer, but you could also achieve that by using a thicker/chunkier yarn on a round loom.
Loomahat.com has a load of tutorials for casting on, using different stitches, fixing mistakes, and finishing a project. She also has a youtube channel with easy to follow guides.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions, I've been doing loom knitting for a decade now lol.
Probably Knifty Knitters, which is hard to find now, but this one I got recently is a super nice quality. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GAHFHY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Came with lots of different sizes too!
Thanks for answering. Is this beginner kit on amazon good for doing beanies?

That way you can set it down and don't have to worry about dropping stitches. It's really simple and relaxing :)
I loom! And by that I mean I crochet/knit with a circle loom. Here's a little guide for stitches and getting started with looms. Personally, I make hats, scarves, and sometimes bracelets and anklets. You can get a cheap set of looms on Amazon and yarn isn't too expensive. Once you get the hang of it, it can actually be pretty addictive. I sold one of my work friends a scarf for $20, but mostly I just make gifts rather than selling them. I made myself several hats, and my siblings hats for their new born babies. :)
