Row 1: "children" is an irregular plural that does not end in -s, so the possessive is formed by adding 's: "the children's toys". The form "the childrens' toys" is wrong because the apostrophe is placed after an -s that does not belong to the plural. Row 2: "boys" is a regular plural ending in -s, so only an apostrophe is added: "the boys' room". The form "the boy's room" refers to one boy only.
