My children, similar to your own, learn by investigating their interests and constructing their own knowledge. They test their ideas about areas of interest and demonstrate their understanding through various "languages," or mediums: markers, paint, chalk, charcoal, clay, wire, blocks, cans, wood, cork, rocks, fabric, yarn, buttons, beads, photographs, collage, sand, water, etc.. Their demonstration of their understanding often leads to further understanding, and inspires new ideas to investigate.
I will often include examples of my own children's learning to demonstrate how my teaching - whether my children or yours - is often one and the same.
