They were later brought to the Stollery for further care.
A second child, aged seven, suffered minor wounds from a knife. Police said to protect their identity, the children, who are both in stable condition, will not be named.
A 35-year-old person from Grande Prairie was charged with aggravated assault. Global News is no longer naming them due to a publication ban enacted to protect the identity of the victims.
They appeared before a Justice of the Peace and were released on conditions. Their next court date is March 13 in Grande Prairie.
