Beadheads may be hard for a kid to toss, but are about the best fly for Crappies that I have used. I tie a montana pattern with chartruse, yellow and red bands.
About any buggy nymph pattern will work, not to small, 12's work for me.
When my boy was 6 I got him a 6.5' Greely in a 3 wt. Set it up with a cheap reel and floating, wt forward line. It works well for him. I think that length and wt are perfect for kids.
