It's art when it's art time...or when it's snacktime and youput them in smocks or strip 'em to diapers and say, have at it, guys!
Table manners are a) for meal times and b) for when they're capable of learning them, whatever that age is in your opinion (in mine...not until they're older and learning please/thank you/utensil usage/chewing quietly/etc)
