7 year old girl, some type of pleasuring herself? Is this normal?

Please go easy on me, 1st and only child and no family to ask, feel silly to ask friends with daughters. For a few months my 7 year old daughter has found a way to manipulate her legs in a rubbing sort of way, she started doing it on a broom stick by accident (I know this sounds odd but believe me it’s true)
She was trying to balance and said it was making her vagina area tingle and she liked it and has been trying to recreate that sensation frequently since. I told her so far that it’s ok to do this in her own private space, it’s normal but it’s a private thing etc etc. Is this normal? How would you handle it please?

Very very normal don't worry!

Best thing to do is have a talk, say its normal to like that feeling, but it's a very private thing which you've already done.

I wouldn't make a huge deal of it just remind her that it's for private spaces only, maybe have a diluted sex talk?
