Sunday Storytime & Thanksgiving in the Woods | $9 | Kids Story Time & Craft (Quad Cities – Bettendorf, IA)

About this event

Story first, paintbrushes second at ArtFlow Studios in Bettendorf 🎨

Storybook Art brings in a local Quad Cities author to read their own picture book, then turns the story into a simple painting or craft the little ones can actually finish. One hour, toddler-sized steps, and messy in the manageable way. Closer to each date we'll announce the featured book and the craft or painting that goes with it, so you'll always know what to expect before you come.

No experience needed — we guide you step by step.
