It depends on what you mean by easy. If you mean you can master them all in a week, then no, it's not easy. There are around 2,000 Japanese kanji listed as everyday use. A lot of them are simple, and most of them have parts of others in them (Like 'time' having 'sun' in it.) Once you get a foundation of the basic kanji, say the first 4 levels, it's fun to reason out unfamiliar kanji by the parts of them you recognize. Japanese is a logical language, so a lot of them make sense if you think about them. (Like flood being Big+Water or toes being Fingers+Feet)

If you're learning to speak Japanese, I'd recommend learning kanji. It makes it simpler because if you can write down a kanji you can't remember how to say, people will understand you better. If you're just trying to learn kanji by themselves, I wouldn't recommend it. It's better to combine the two than to try to learn them separate from each other.

How do Japanese schoolchildren study kanji?

In doses. Every year they study progressively more Kanji. Just like anyone learning Kanji, they practice writing the character multiple times until it's committed to memory. Study materials for younger children are often workbooks that turn the Kanji into memorable pictures, utiliizing mneumonics to aid in the learning process. Thus, the studying of Kanji is spread out over many years, making it a gradual process, as opposed to foreigners studying Japanese, who must tackle (at the very least) 2000 characters in a relatively short amount of time.
