Two other children were wounded, one seriously, by the blast which happened around at 10:00 am Sunday while the children were playing in the Surobi district.
The seriously-wounded child has been transferred to Bagram Military Base for more intense treatment, while the other who was wounded remains in a provincial hospital, the statement from the governor's office said.
The two children who died in the blast were about 12 years old, according to the governor's office, but no gender was given.
Insurgents frequently use IEDs to target the Afghan and Nato security forces, but most of the victims are civilians.
More than 3,021 Afghan civilians have been killed in the past year's violence, according to a UN report.
Taliban-affiliated insurgents were responsible for the majority of the deaths.
