She loves to sit and strum it. She tries to mimic me, but her hands
are too small so I show her how to play single notes.

G chord 000003
Em chord 000000
C chord (or Am7) 000010
D7 chord 000012

There's a couple of notes in there that don't fit.
But generally she'll have a I vi IV V of I vi ii V.

That'll get her through a ton of songs as she
starts to hear the differences in the chords.
