Setting up a child account

I don't have an iphone or any apple device. I cannot create an iCloud account without one, so I cannot add my child account. How can my child use their new phone, if I am unable to set up an iCloud account?

According to the first link you can create your own Apple ID but from the second link below I don't see how you can set up Family Sharing so you can add a child, so I guess it isn't possible.
