I work with preschool children and many replace /k, g/ with /t, d/. One trick I use when I begin teaching /k, g/ is to place a smartie (candy) or cheerio on the tip of the child's tongue. I tell them to keep the candy/cheerio on their tongue while they label different pictures, and then they can eat it when we're done. I find that most kids are able to correctly produce /k, g/ and then you can talk about how it feels to make the sound in the back of their throat versus behind the teeth. I've also found that they quickly learn and are able to correctly produce /k, g/ without anything on their tongue soon after. Good luck!
