If it is actually for children to read, it might be better to use more-or-less standard notation. That would be X-head notes with an English text just above saying “finger snap”. I usually see this on the 3rd space of the staff when it is JUST finger snaps. For the side pat, you should probably put the X-head note on a different space (probably lower) to differentiate it, but still with the text.
I doubt there is anything truly standard, but if there is, jef chippewa would know it!
