Getting the children's attention, encouraging them to touch, and getting them to look at the art materials are all developmentally appropriate strategies to engage children and guide them towards compliance with the request to put the materials away. These strategies are interactive and involve the children directly, making it more likely for them to understand and follow through with the request. Time-out is not mentioned as part of the effective strategies in this context.
