You can get a rough estimate by weighing him. A human has approximately the same density as water, or 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Therefore, find the child's mass in grams, and convert to cubic centimeters.
A more accurate method is to place the child in a giant graduated cylinder filled with water, have them exhale as much air as possible, then get totally submerged. The change in water level will tell you the volume of the submerged child.

Take a bathtub big enough for your 5 year old boy to be completly imersed. Now immerse him and collect all the water that had spilled out. Measure the volume of the water.

Weigh the naked child on a scale in pounds.
Divide the child's weight by 62.4.
The answer is in cubic feet.
Example:
weight 83 pounds,
83 / 62.4 = 1.33 cubic feet.

Put him in a bathtub. Record the rise in water level. Calculate the volume of water displaced.

weigh him using a balance which suspends him by some means. Weigh him using the same balance but submerge him in a tank of water. If you have weighed him in kilograms, then the difference in kg is his volume in L.

Fill the kid up with helium, let the child fly, and attach him/her to a rock with a string.
Measure the rock, then measure the kid attached to the rock.
Take the child's weight, and subtract that from the rock.
There you go.
I've done it countless of times before. So easy!
