Create iTunes Store account without credit card - Support - Apple
You will need another working email address but you can set up free email accounts using AOL, Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail. The primary reason that you will need the email address is to create the ID, but if the child already has an email address, just use that one.
The advice posted by brendan is helpful if you want to set up the device with your own Apple ID. It will allow you to have control over what the child can download.
