You might research milk paint if you aren't already familiar with it. My wife found a make your own recipe on the web. We refinished a bedroom suit that my daughter had as a young girl. It had flower motif on the headboard and other areas. We stripped the dresser top and stained it - but all the other pieces got the milk paint treatment. Then to protect the paint my wife used spray polyurethane. The milk paint is very forgiving which would probably be great for your granddaughter to apply.
