If you want to sell the children into slavery instead of just killing them you could have them fall onto an array of cage traps.

Mr Dorf: "Thats odd..."
Mrs Dorf: "What?"
Mr Dorf: "That Platform above the chasm Urist built, all the children are gathering there."
Mrs Dorf: "I know! I want to go too, but we're needed for the military!"
Mr Dorf: "The Magma cistern above the platform is full too..."
Mrs Dorm: "Oh look theres Urist! Hi Urist! What'cha doing?"
Urist: "THERE IS GREAT JOY TO BE HAD FROM PULLING LEVERS!"
Mr Dorf: "Oh gods the Platform is falling!"
Mrs Dorf: "The cistern let go too! The children are falling and being burned alive at the same time!"
Urist: "SCIENCE!"

Mr. Dorf: Egads! somebody paved over the bottom of the chasm! The children will be splattered all over the place!
Mrs. Dorf: And somebody built spikes there! The children will be impaled!
Mr. Dorf: Now water is falling! They will be encased in obsidian!
Mrs. Dorf: Now there are goblins falling instead of water! The horror!

Probably the most effective, yet most mundane way would be to simply have enough rooms that every dwarf can claim their own personal room.

And every room has a door.

Even children have to sleep sometime... 



Alternatively, you can simply abort artifacts you don't want made. Once they have gathered all the materials and begun work, forbid every item inside the workshop and then reclaim. Those items will then be hauled back to the stockpiles, the child will be left trying to create the artifact with no items to work with, and because they cannot create anything, they will eventually be driven insane.

Another method involving mass deconstruction:
Forbid dwarves to go to the to-be-deconstructed area. Disable masonry for all (adult) dwarves (Dwarf Foreman is your friend), order the floor to be deconstructed and the children will run there. You can just lock the door, drop them, drown them, burn them, encase them in obsidian, whatever. The most important part is to gather all the children in one spot. I guess, this is the easiest method.

For added fun, order the floor tiles adjacent to the wall to be deconstructed. Just wait...

Edit: You can also use Dwarf Foreman to enable pump operating (or any other job) for the children. Let them pump themselves their very own watery (or firey, if you have magma) doom!
There are so many suicide possibilities concerning the different jobs. Bonus points if they die as soapmakers.

Another year, another batch of babies grown into children and dropped into magma.
Next year I'll try to remember to catch the capture process.

Besides, mass child tombs dont take up any space if built on a retractable bridge.

All while training lower level masons/carpenters quickly.

[fake edit] I realized soon that you cant build on a bridge. But it would have been a good thought.

Children CAN pull levers. I've seen them do it at times. They just wont pull the ones which you make specific for them.
