Colour Scheme

We have chosen these font types because they will appeal to our target audience (children and their parents), they are interesting to look at, and they are the type of font that they will be around on a daily basis (in their books and on TV shows etc.) the bulk of the text will be written in Aabb (Bookman old style)

Font types

We have chosen these colours because they are bright and eye catching, are based off of the primary colours, which is what children see most of, and simple block colours.

instructions. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl. Meanwhile, make peanut sauce: In a blender or food processor, blend peanut butter,

garlic, pepper flakes, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth. Cut cucumber crosswise into thirds; cut each piece lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices.

Stack slices; cut lengthwise into very thin strips. Transfer pasta to a large bowl; toss with sauce, cucumber, and carrots. Serve at room temperature.

2. Grilled Mozzarella SandwichesIngredients 1 pound fresh buffalo mozzarella, cut into 4 equal pieces about 3-inches by 4-inches 8 1/2-inch thick firm white sandwich bread 2 large eggs 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, leaves 1 teaspoon coarse salt A grating of nutmeg 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butterMethod Place the mozzarella on 4 slices of the bread.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add 1/2 cup bean mixture and press lightly with a spatula to flatten.
