What is the easiest version of the handstand between these two, that is easier to teach children? Regular Headstand or Forearm Headstand? I can't tell anymore since its been a while. Are there any easier versions with the legs up?

We start with the teddy bear stand. Basically a frog stand with the head on the ground.
 
When I was little I only learned regular. Headstands were not a significant skill, though. They don't build on anything, other than getting you used to being upside down before handstands.

I would have the kids start with a "tripod". They are on their head but with their knees on their elbows. Then have them extend their legs up, on soft mats of course.
