The monks I've known would have been suppressing giggles and thinking of the publicity. Plus, if the child was joyfully 'tap-dancing', then some serious Eastern doctrines would say that was a good vibes thing, and should be respected.
Of course they'd 'smile and start over'. They were doing lots of this practice, touring many cities.
Sand is cheap. Meditation-by-sprinkling-sand happens wherever the monk happens to be. It's not about the resulting picture.
