#PLAYTIMEWITHOSKAR Challenge Prompt 1 :
Stormy Skies
Week beginning Monday 28th June
What do you and your little ones enjoy doing when the weather turns grey? Do you pop on your wellies and head outside for some puddle-jumping fun? Stay indoors for some some rainy day play? Get out the paints and crayons and get crafting? Why not share your rainy day ideas with us OR create an artwork, flatlay or small world play scene inspired by the topic - 'Stormy Skies'.
This week's prize is a Sarah's Silks Skytale (rainbow comet)

After the storm, comes a rainbow. Sometimes two. If you are part of the Oskar's Wooden Ark family, then chances are you love rainbows and rainbow-coloured play. We can't wait to see your entries for this one!
We are super excited to give away a Grimm's medium 6-piece rainbow in your choice of natural, pastel colours or brights.
