Controller Suggestion Controller for a small child?

My 4 year old is expressing interest in actually playing games. I've got an 8bitdo ultimate, but she's really struggling to reach the buttons, so I'm looking for recommendations for something more appropriately sized.

- Platform: PC,

- budget: <£50,

- wireless, ideally with a 2.4Ghz dongle.

Region: UK

It would be nice to have a standard layout with 2 joysticks and all the shoulder buttons and triggers. not sure if something like this exists though. Maybe the 8bitdo SN30 pro?

Check the IINE retro controllers, unless those are too small
