Peace be upon you.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
Children and the insane should not be prevented from touching the Quran unless it is considered disrespectful. It is permissible to allow them to touch it, and there is no issue in handing it to them for the purpose of learning, even if it is known that they will touch it.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
A small child becomes ritually impure due to the minor nullifiers of ablution, but it is not forbidden for them to touch the written Quran, nor is it obligatory for the responsible person to prevent the child from touching the Holy Quran. However, care should be taken to avoid disrespect or impurity.
