Playdough cake
While you prepare a delicious galette des rois, your children will accompany you by preparing their own galette! And this, with modeling clay! What could be better than to be in the kitchen with their own rollers? Once the mechanism is set in motion, children can let their creativity run free. They can also follow the three basic steps as shown in the photo. If they want to work on the details, they can also have fun making several layers to give the impression of a puff pastry. They can even hide a bean inside. When eating your galette des rois, you can use the play dough galette to decorate the plates. Explain of course that this last one is just for decoration and that it is the big cake that you can eat (you never know eh!)
The castle game
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/197595502379244462/This simple educational game is very interesting for young children. It aims to distinguish the sound 'ch' and also promotes oral expression and articulation. To do this, print out the plan (the castle) and the labels. On these are drawn the objects that contain or do not contain the sound 'ch'.
Finally, the rules of the game are simple: the map is placed in the middle of the table. In turn, each player picks a label and names the drawing. At this point, if the word contains the sound 'ch' the player will place the label on the castle. If the word does not contain the sound, the player must choose not to put the label on the castle.

To begin, knead it to make it more flexible and easier to handle. Then, the dough can be cut, carved with a toothpick and shaped to your liking! Have fun shaping it into a heart, a crown, a cloud... And then it will be an opportunity for your children to surprise you! Once your bean is ready, put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 110°C
