UNICEF said Tuesday that 27 children died and 10 were injured in the bombing of St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo.
It said 13 children died in blasts in Batticaloa and 15 were injured.
The agency says that among foreign victims, five were children.
Twenty children have also been hospitalized in Colombo.
UNICEF also says many children lost one or both parents in the attacks and would need psychological treatment.
More than 320 people were killed and 500 injured in the bombings.
