setting up apple id for a child

Hi, I do not have an Apple device, but my 11 year old just got an Iphone. Im trying to set her up with an apple id through family share, but can't figure out how to do it w/o a apple device.

It can be done using one device, but it is a bit more difficult using only one device. On the device, sign into iCloud with your Apple ID and set up Family Sharing. Create the child's ID. Sign out of your ID and sign in with the child's ID. Swap iCloud sign in as required.
