Some people think 子供 is correct, some think 子ども, and others opt for the all hiragana こども.
I don't think either of them are incorrect, although in my opinion 子ども just looks plain wierd... Maybe because I use 子供.

Wikipedia I believe has some interesting information about the subject.
子供 - Wikipedia

Of course I am open to being corrected on this but I don't think 子供 is over-use of kanji at all, and think it all boils down to personal preference on this one
