You might want to call her pediatrician. Sometimes rapid blinking can indicate a piece of debree under the eyelid or a scratch on the cornea. Either way it never hurts to call!

This is just a suggestion, if the child's eyes continues to blink frequently, then you need to seek some professional help. You can go to an ophthalmologist to check if she has astigmatism. Frequent blinking of eyes is one of the symptoms of astigmatism as they say.
