yes and no
You can define schedule and you can schedule rules. and if you schedule every single rule on kidssubnet you should achieve what you desire
-
couldn't you just schedule a block all to all rule to activate when the kids should be locked out and putt it first on the list?

This sounds good.
Create a BLOCK any to any rule on top of all other rules you created and then shedule this rule. SO you will be flexible with your other rules if you only want to allow some ports/ips and not in general any.

Yes, thats correct.
But I think I found a little missconfiguration on your second rule with destination port "80 - 443". I am not sure but I think you only want to block webGUI access on port 80 (http) or port 443 (https). But what your rule does is blocking the port range from 80 to 443.Better create an Port-Alias with port 80,443 and 22 (ssh) and then put this alias as "Destination port" in your firewall rule.
