Tell him Not anytime in the near future, since every single day I have to decide what work I will not do because of a lack of time.
What you also could do is let those junior devs help you with documentation. That way you have more time to focus on helping them.
What kind of work method do you have? I get the feeling its not scrum or something like it. I would suggest giving that a try. Just have a day of making user stories and you have enough backlog for a few sprints. Then at least the junior devs won't be asking "what can I do now?".

It changed my life, really. 😁
My boss pays me well and treats me well, but he expects me to do project management (documentation, giving tasks to 2 junior devs, reviewing their code, helping them when they are stuck), coding, architecture and to finish the project in a time record time.
When I told him that this week I will not work on development but will start to do documentation because the project got so big that it is difficult to keep track, and also the other 2 developers are waiting for tasks for me to give them, he looked disappointed.
I noticed and told him that if he wanted to speed up development, he must hire another project manager, or another senior developer because I can not do them both and expect to finish in a record time.
He keeps asking almost every day, "When are we going live?"
