Time for the 'that is an outside activity. Your teacher is uptight, and if you do that indoors, life will get difficult' talk.
Kids do need to learn when things fit the setting, and when they don't; usually real good at it if they aren't bogged down in feeling that they are 'wrong'. And learning that adults can be wrong was the best thing I ever got out of my early elementary years (I credit the 3 days I spent having to write my name with the 'correct spelling' that was wrong hundreds of times before my folks found out what was up). Nothing like a mindless socialization-compliance machine to make them appreciate free thinking and individuality (not the snowflake kind).
