Dollar Cost averaging sounds like the way to go with such a set-up. If I recall, the SPY pays dividends as well. Of Course, you wouldn't want to overweight the accounts in SPYs and Qs.

But as long as they are children the effect is so long term that some portion of funds invested in such a fashion sounds prudent.

In any event, you and your wife can each allocate $10K each year to each child. So you can each put in $2500 a quarter and be making a reasonable bet. You can pick up a StockTraders Almanac if you want to guess at the "best" seasonal times to take a position if you think that would help you.
