Can you please let me know what type of tax-free accounts you’ve set up to hold your children’s investments?  We’d like to make a modest investment in a mutual fund for our 16 year old daughter.

If it's not a lot of money, the account need not be tax-free because at least in the beginning your dd will not make enough to pay taxes on. When the income on the account is at the point at which she may have to pay taxes, you can liquidate and reinvest in a tax-free account. Even so, it may not necessarily be worth it if the tax-free account pays significantly less than a taxable account, because unless your dd will be making a LOT of money, the taxes on the revenue will likely be less than the difference in earnings between a taxable and tax-free investment.

Other than 529 I didn’t realize there was such a thing as tax free investments for kids.

You have 529, coverdell, and whole life insurance cash value (financial planner/insurance advisor).
