Like people have said, MP5's are deceptively big (short of the MP5K's), they're almost the same size as an AR (grip is also a bit larger than AR grips so smaller hands might have issues). If you're looking for something small/compact, one of those SBR or "tanker" M4's might actually be the way to go, plus you're retain mag compatibility between all of you.
Would avoid AK's for kids as the length of pull on their stocks might not be ideal for shorter arms. Plus its a completely different platform which means another set of mags and potentially batteries and maintenance issues.
Bit of an example I grabbed off google between a compact M4 and a collapsed MP5 (missing the muzzle break).
