All you should be doing is making a variety of materials available to them and let them experiment. You can teach them that they should try to keep their work on the paper or what ever material they are using and they should try not to eat the materials. They need time to figure things out for themselves. Four year olds don't need to think that there is a right way or wrong way to draw. They just need time and materials to draw their own way.
