I think that you may use the chief for doing Magic Food once in each 24 hours (our hours) and pause the game in the meanwhile. Or at least, when you don't play.
Do you know that you may put 2 or 3 kids on the same mushroom?
Pause the game, drop a kid then un-pause and immediately drop the other kid!

To Pause the game, you may use the "space key"

Oh! and welcome to the forum!!
