I have been taking a clay class this year and have enjoyed making baking dishes, any size and shape, some with animals on the handles. Perhaps she would like a garlic keeper, they are not too difficult. I want to make one of those chicken roasters. It's a round dish with high sides and a cone like thingy in the middle to impale the bird upon. Deep enough for veggies around the bottom of the dish so they cook in the juices that run off the bird. The fun thing is that you can really personalize what you make. Let us know what you come up with!
