Hi.  I am late replying, I guess--apologies.  That sounds like a perfect 
thing to do.  We do Easter around here, and I suspect she'd like 
something like that. :)  She'd appreciate it even more if she made it 
herself, or with some help.

She can cut the canvas to size having the 4 sides all the same height and cutting a bottom.  Take yarn on a craft needle and sew the edges together.  You can use a thin strip of canvas to create a handle for the basket.  They turn out very cute and by using the colored canvas you can use the same or contrasting colors etc.
