A minivan struck two children apparently on their way to school in Brooklyn Wednesday morning, cops said.

The 13-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy were walking at the intersection of 16th Avenue and 62nd Street in Bensonhurst just after 8 a.m. when a Nissan minivan driver — heading east on 62nd Street — collided with the pair, police said.

Both victims were taken to Maimonides Medical Center, where they were listed in stable condition with minor injuries, authorities said.
