I can't find their meaning in any of the online dictionaries, but a native speaker used the word "kids sized" in a sentence.

kids sized a size suitable for a kid. (often written with a hyphen.)
eg If you order a kids-sized meal, you get a smaller amount of food.

Kids sized sounds awkward to me, though I wouldn't be surprised to see it. These expressions could be used to indicate that someone or something is the same size as a child (or a part of a child, such as a child's hand), or that an object is smaller than usual in order to be suitable for use by a child, e.g. a child-sized desk.
