Answer 1

First you must tell them they are not to put it in their mouths, although it looks sweet it is not a food.  They mustn't draw on themselves and especially not on others. If they are sharing crayons, they have to wait patiently for the colour they want to use. Set this ground rule from the start.

Answer 2

I know it sounds simple, but unless you structure it that way they cannot fail. Just give them crayons, paper and time to work without interference from you. Don't dictate what they draw, make comparisons among the children or impose your idea of color. Ask if they'd like you to write about what they drew and if so,where. (On the picture itself or on an attached piece of paper or the back of the drawing) Don't gush or offer empty praise. Comment  about the process, not "What is it?" but "Look at all the colors you used. You've been working hard at that." or " Look, it turned green over here. How did you do that?". Remember, for most preschool children it's the process that counts, not the product.

Answer 3

I dont really understand your ?....but you should make sure they are labeled non-toxic and that you make sure they dont eat them or stick them in any holes lol Crayola makes this new thing called wonder markers/paints that can only be used on a special paper much better choice to keep from messes.

The first thing you need to do is learn to spell. It should be KNOW, not NO.
