Yes and no. What happens if they fall in love with the kitties? It's take a really good parent to ensure the children that the cat is really going to be OK when it goes back to the shelter. The shelter should let the parents know when the cats have been successfully adopted so the parents can keep the kids updated.

We've fostered a mother cat; it was one of the most rewarding experiences for us and, because we did not have a child at the time, the neighbors' kids as well.

It depends on your kids. The problem is young kids tend to have a short attention span and lose interest quickly. Especially if the kittens come with responsibilities like feeding and scooping.
