Ways To Help Keep The Kids Distracted For Spring Break In The Quad Cities

Finding stuff to do on Spring Break is always a bit of a struggle for parents and kids alike. I have 3 younger sisters, and 2 of them are still in school. Every year my mom tries to find ways to keep them entertained for a week. If you're in that same boat hopefully, we can find something to help you out!

If you're not taking a trip this year, and you don't just want your kids to be on their phones all day, we have a list of QC events, and fun activities you can try.

Quad Cities Events:
Tween/Teen Origami Infinity Cubes: Kids can make their own origami infinity cube in this month’s craft kits for tweens and teens. Register and pick up your kit from March 14-19. Open to students in grades 6-12. Note: Registration required. Tap here for more.

Movie of the Month: Happening in Davenport, this month they will be watching  "Dear Evan Hanson". Enjoy a movie, popcorn, and a beverage for $2 at CASI.

Inventor's Club: This is for kids from 3rd to 8th grade.

Inventors’ Club will introduce participants to virtual reality, taking you through real-world job simulators such as chefs, mechanics, and chemists to name a few. Students will also create designs through laser cutting, 3D printing, and Resin printer. The final project will be a stop motion animation project, which allows participants to use creative writing and skills acquired from 3D printing.

 

Gathering Of The Green: This is a new attraction in addition to the regular slate of extensive themed displays. The first Plow City Show will be indoors at the Iowa Building at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. A diverse selection of tractors, implements, hit-and-miss engines, and memorabilia will make this show a great one.
