As long as the Will contains some reference to them, they should not be able to contest it. I suggest language something like: "I leave my grandchildren (names) the sum of $1.00 each." What are you including if another child predeceaes you? Will you treat their children similarly? I suggest you seek the assistance of an attorney to assist you.
