To set up an Apple ID for a child you have to have Family sharing active.


To learn how to 'Set up Family Sharing', click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT201088

- Only lists doing this on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac.


There is only one way to set up Family Sharing on an Android device and that is by having a subscription to Apple Music.


Use Family Sharing with Apple Music on Android. Click on this link to learn how --> https://support.apple.com/HT212154

"How to start and manage your own family group

When you get an Apple Music family subscription, you can start and manage a family group to share your subscription. "


With a lot of possible constraints on doing this such as are you wanting to subscribe to Apple Music just to do this or would it be easier to just find somebody with a Mac, this answer could start getting very long at this point since I do not know what hardware your child has, if any, and how complex procedure you are willing to undertake.
