Depends on the weight of the child. Children's benadryl i usually in a concentration of 12.5 mg per tsp. so the typical toddler will probably get 1/2 tsp. By age 4 or 5 the dosage will increase to 1 tsp.

Propper dosage is 0.5mg per pound. In this case 36 lb x 0.5mg = 18mg of medication. Of course you should consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist to confirm dosages.
