I would check with each child first to see what length they want - they may even want them full size to adorn a long wall or front porch

My husband cut one in half and made a template of the uncut edge. He then cut two edge pieces from a piece of 3/4" plywood, stained it to match the bench and glued it to the unfinished edge of the bench using carpenter's glue. Looks great!

oh what a shame to have to do that . I agree with Kcama and check with the children ....it would be so much better to leave them intact . If there is any value in them it will be lost by cutting them up.
