My ds8 did something similar a few times, but the teachers never said a word to him, as far as I know. He got into the habit of coloring all over his laminated name plate on his desk with markers, then wiping it off with his hands. Then coming home with really colorful hands. He also colored on his shoes and pants at various times. He said he did it when he was done with his work, and waiting for the other kids to be done. I told him to stop - and find something more constructive to do with his time LOL. He hasn't done it recently - I must remember to ask what he IS doing instead ! smile
