tots

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'young' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'children in shorts' is the second definition.
'tots' can be an answer for 'children' (tot is a kind of child). I'm not certain of the 'in shorts' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tots that I've seen before include "Babies" , "Little children" , "Party drinks" , "Little drinks" , "Sailors' drams" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
