talk to them all and explain that it is not acceptable behaviour and if they do it again they'll be in trouble.

I would show it to the children and say that unless they dissist from doing it, then no pencils will be allowed.

My own daughters are quite naughty when it comes to this kind of thing. I find scribbles along the walls quite regularly, scratches on my sideboard (not bothering to replace it until I finish CM :D )
I know it's my youngest who does it, but she always blames her older sister :rolleyes:

I agree you need to talk to them so that they know that you don't want them to do this again.

The only other thing is to ban pencils/crayons etc unless you are there supervising them.

well parents know im gonna follow through with my threat of doing nothing tomorrow - i know it prob sounds silly but if they think they can get away with it then more damage could be done - im only going to explain why they shouldn't have done it

I once had 2 brothers who always blamed each other / other children. I knew who did whatever it was and was getting frustrated at the lying.

I am a very honest person but on one occasion - I lied to the children.

I told them that I had a secret camera that recorded everything and when they went home I would watch the tape and would KNOW who did it!

I then explained about how cross I would be when I found out who did it and that person would not be allowed to play at all, and the other would all do something really nice. Therefore it would be better to stop lying and come and tell me.

I then left them all to think about it and then asked them one at a time (on their own - away from other children) if they had done it.

Well the 'quilty' brother did say it was him and I just asked him to apologise to myself and the other children - saying 'good thing you told me - as now you can make cakes with the other tomorrow' (was the favourite activity art the time)

But the best bit was both brothers thought that the alarm sensors (in each room) were the 'secret camera's' - and wicked me let them continue to think so! - never actually told them sensors were cameras - just let them believe it. Behaviour improved and everytime it started to slip, I just looked towards the alarm sensors without saying anything.
